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.
