Investigators scheduled a meeting with him later but he failed to show up, RCMP Sgt. Paul Manaigre said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A warrant was issued for his arrest, but Singh had not been seen by police for two days as of Friday evening. It is unclear whether he remains in Winnipeg, or may have fled the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manaigre said officers did not detain Singh at the hospital because they were not within their legal rights. The investigation was ongoing and police were not prepared to lay charges, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trask, who teaches law at the University of Manitoba, said eyewitness statements and preliminary evidence collected from an accident or crime scene can form the basis for an arrest. Officers can then detain a person for up to 24 hours as they continue to gather evidence and prepare charges, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police said early on that charges were anticipated in the crash, which happened at the intersection of provincial roads 201 and 306. A witness travelling behind the Ungers\u2019 SUV told investigators the semi-truck appeared to be travelling at high speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manaigre defended RCMP\u2019s decision not to arrest Singh immediately, saying officers had no indication he would be a flight risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHindsight is always 20-20. When you look at, \u2018OK, now he is running,\u2019 Well, then of course we should have detained him, but when you can\u2019t get information from the driver at the hospital \u2026 we can\u2019t talk to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said it is not uncommon for people involved in accidents to be given time to recover from shock before they provide a statement to investigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll need probably those few days for your mind to come out of it and then hopefully you\u2019ll start recollecting events, which is what you want,\u201d Manaigre said. \u201cIf we actually went and arrested him, well now you\u2019re starting the 24-hour clock and you\u2019ve got 24 hours to deal with him. He has to be released or taken into custody \u2026 You haven\u2019t accomplished anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/2797610_web1_Unger-Sara-Alexa.jpg?w=1000\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/2797610_web1_Unger-Sara-Alexa.jpg?w=1000\" alt=\"SUPPLIED\n                                Sara Unger, 35, and her eight-year-old daughter Alexa Unger, who lived in the Rural Municipality of Rhineland, were killed at the intersection of provincial roads 201 and 306, shortly after 7 p.m. November 15.

Such examinations can include mechanical inspections of a vehicle and a review of the scene, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newman said it is too early to say for certain whether Singh is intentionally evading police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have to be cautious because I don\u2019t know what evidence the police had,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can imagine where if somebody gets out of an accident \u2026 you might want to go and see your family, you may want to go and see a lawyer and get legal advice from somebody you trust in your home community. I don\u2019t think this is a situation where we can say he\u2019s fled the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police said Singh holds a valid Ontario driver\u2019s licence. They did not confirm whether he is a Canadian citizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>tyler.searle@freepress.mb.ca<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former prosecutor says trucker could have been arrested, RCMP disagree [Navjeet Singh went through a stop sign in in Altona, Manitoba.
