A truck driver is facing charges after sheriffs deputies say he rolled his tractor trailer over in Wyoming County on Friday.
Khush Singh of Quebec, Ontario is charged with reckless driving, aggravated unlicensed operation, failure to keep right and speed not reasonable and prudent.
Sheriffs deputies say Singh was driving the tractor trailer on State Route 63 in the Town of Covington when he drove into oncoming traffic at a hillcrest and curve in the road. Were told two vehicles were forced off the road to avoid being hit. Investigators say after driving into the opposite lane, Singh then swerved back into his lane which caused the truck to overturn. We're told he was hauling 40,000 pounds of bananas.
When deputies arrived to the scene of the crash, they noticed that Singh was wearing two different shoes. Investigators later determined he was changing his shoes while driving and not paying attention to the road.
According to investigators, Singh was operating the tractor trailer with a Quebec drivers license that had been previously suspended in New York. He was arraigned on the charges and is being held in lieu of $500 cash bail or $2,000 bond.

"Singh" indicates he is likely Indian and therefore Sikh, not Mooselimb.
