Sandeep Singh Cheema dies in head on semi trailer collision

Darpan News Desk GoFund Me, 22 Jul, 2024 02:42 PM

When Sandeep left home for work, he told his daughters Sargun and Mehar, 6 and 2, and his wife Manjeet that he would be back. But that would not be the case.

Sandeep Singh Cheema, 41, a beloved father and husband, passed away as a result of a horrific head-on collision that occurred on July 16th on Hwy 17, when a speeding semi-trailer drove through a red light as Sandeep was about to turn into his workplace to park his semi-trailer truck for the night and head home to his wife and daughters.

Sandeep was one turn away from finishing his shift, and reuniting with his family.

A go fund me has been set up for Sandeep.

Over $50,000 has been raised since the fundraiser was started and the money will be given to Cheema's widow.
