Dad killed in railway crash remembered as ‘respectful soul'
The truck driver who died in a horror railway crossing crash has been remembered as a 'kind, soft-spoken and respectful soul'. Jaspreet 'Grewal' Singh, 41, was killed after his white Volvo semi-tipper smashed into a freight train on Bishop Road near Hopkinson Road about 12.45pm on Monday. Mr Singh was rushed to Armadale Hospital where he later died. No one else was injured. Amandeep Kaur — Mr Singh's wife — has since set up a GoFundMe to cover the cost of the funeral and ensure their 12-year-old son, Samarveer, has a financially secure future. 'Jaspreet Singh was the most kind, soft-spoken and respectful soul, always smiling and spreading positivity,' she said in a post. 'He was not just my husband but my best friend and the most loving father to our 12-year-old son, Samarveer Singh. 'Our world has been turned upside down in an instant and I am struggling to come to terms with this heartbreaking loss.' Ms Kaur said her husband immigrated to Australia in 2018 but was 'still struggling' to get permanent residency. 'As I now face life without him, I humbly ask for your support to help me provide stability for our son,' she said. 'Your kindness, prayers and generosity means the world to us.' The fundraiser — which has a target of $250,000 — has already raised more than $66,000.

Jaspreet Singh: Driver killed in tipper truck crash with freight train in Cardup a ‘loving' father and husband
The family of a beloved husband and father killed in a horrific railway crossing crash with a freight train say their world has been turned upside down and they are struggling to come to terms with their 'heartbreaking loss'. Semi tipper driver Jaspreet Singh suffered critical injuries in the collision on Hopkinson Rd near Bishop Road in Cardup, a suburb of Perth 's outer southeast, just before 1pm on Monday. Jaspreet, 41, was freed from the cab of his white Volvo truck before being rushed to Armadale Hospital. Sadly he could not be saved. No one else, including crew on the freight train, was injured. Jaspreet's wife Amandeep Kaur said his death was an 'unbearable' blow to their family. 'Jaspreet was the most kind, soft-spoken, and respectful soul — always smiling and spreading positivity,' she said. 'He was not just my husband but my best friend and the most loving father to our 12-year-old son, Samarveer. 'Our world has been turned upside down in an instant and I am struggling to come to terms with this heartbreaking loss.' Jaspreet's older brother Harpreet immediately phoned his sibling when told of the emergency by Amandeep, who had been unable to reach him on his mobile. The brothers spoke on the phone every day, but on Monday afternoon he did not pick up Harpreet's desperate calls. 'He was a very good man, a very good person,' Harpreet told 'Whenever I would call to ask him something, he was always ready to help. 'We were very close.' Harpreet said he 'can't imagine life without his brother'. 'It's a very emotional time,' he said. Jaspreet moved with his wife and son to Australia from India in 2018, joining his brother and parents who had relocated years earlier. They settled in Piara Waters, in Perth's southern suburbs, and had been working to secure permanent residency. Jaspreet's death has left his wife and son in limbo, uncertain of their future, given the process is still ongoing. 'They can't go back to India,' Harpreet said. 'There's no one there for them. Their family is here.' Loved ones and strangers have offered support through a GoFundMe set up by the family to cover funeral expenses and immediate living costs. WA Police's Major Crash Unit is investigating the collision and has appealed for information. Anyone with details or camera footage should contact Crime Stoppers.
