Amandeep Singh, the driver involved in a wrong-way crash that killed two 14-year-old middle schoolers on Long Island, pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide and manslaughter. He previously pleaded not guilty to a 15-count indictment. Singh will receive the maximum sentence of 8 and a third-to-25 years for the top charge.
MINEOLA, N.Y. - The driver in a wrong-way crash that killed two middle schoolers on Long Island pled guilty Friday. It was a reversal for Amandeep Singh, who pled guilty to the top charges of aggravated vehicular homicide and manslaughter. He had previously pleaded not guilty to a 15-count indictment including aggravated vehicular homicide, leaving the scene, and driving while drunk and impaired. Donnelly said there was no plea deal and no reduced sentence.
Police body camera video showed him hiding behind a dumpster. 'He was unsteady on his feet. He was disoriented. His speech was slurred,' Donnelly said. 'He was adamant he wasn't involved in a crash.' Hassenbein and Falkowitz were elite tennis players returning from a match when they were killed. They were doing everything right, Donnelly said, but shared the road with a drunk and drugged driver. 'He just killed them''He's a bad guy. Never said he was sorry.
