Manhunt for Louisiana man wanted in deadly crash who may have fled state or country continues into 6th month
Share this @internewscast.com

The search for a Louisiana man accused of vehicular manslaughter has now entered its sixth month. He is alleged to have driven the wrong way on a freeway in St. John the Baptist Parish, leading to the tragic death of a recent college graduate.

In late October, authorities issued a felony warrant for 30-year-old Manmeet Singh. He faces charges of vehicular homicide, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, and driving in the wrong direction, as announced by Crime Stoppers of Greater New Orleans this week.

The Louisiana State Police, alongside U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Marshals Service New Orleans Task Force, are actively searching for Singh.

Singh’s last known residence was in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, and he was employed as a rideshare driver in New Orleans at the time.

The tragic incident occurred last September when Singh, allegedly under the influence, collided head-on with 21-year-old Patricia Saidu on Interstate 10.

Saidu was trapped in her vehicle when it burst into flames and died immediately of her injuries.

Singh was taken to the hospital with a blood alcohol level of .21% with serious injuries, but he recovered and was released before police could check back in with him.

“She wanted to be a physician and medical doctor,” her father Dr. Patrick Saidu told WAFB-TV, adding that Saidu hoped to be a pediatrician. Saidu comes from an immigrant family of doctors from Sierra Leone.

ICE agents went to Singh’s house on Oct. 1 after he was released from the hospital to serve the arrest warrant, but determined he “was unable to be moved due to his injuries,” according to WAFB.

Fox News Digital has reached out to ICE for comment. 

Louisiana police had also gone to his home days earlier but also decided he was too injured to be moved.

At some point after that, Singh fled the state and hasn’t been seen since.

“We are in the sixth month since this accident took place. Patricia was taken from us in a very tragic manner,” her father told WAFB.

“I’m pleading with them,” her mother, Martha Saidu, added. “I’m a grieving mother. My daughter did not deserve the way she died.”

Crimestoppers is offering a reward for information helping lead to Singh’s arrest.

Singh is supposed to be in court next week.

“He left family behind in the Ponchatoula area, including a young child and a wife,” Deputy U.S. Marshal Brian Fair told Crimestoppers on Tuesday. “He left a wake of destruction behind him with not only his family but definitely with the victim’s family.”
