Court documents obtained by CBC News show Gagandeep Singh was facing multiple criminal charges at that time and had allegedly broken a condition of his release, namely "not be in the driver seat of a motor vehicle." Separate court records, which list Singh as having no fixed address, allege he'd stolen merchandise from an LCBO outlet in Burlington and another in Oakville over the course of three days in January.
Police were chasing the van on one of Canada's busiest highways as Singh was going the wrong way and crashed into oncoming traffic. The collision killed three-month-old Aditya Vivaan from Ajax, and the boy's grandparents, Manivannan Srinivasapillai and Mahalakshmi Ananthakrishnan, who had been visiting from Chennai, India.
