Detectives reported Parmanand Singh was driving a white 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe the wrong way when he crashed head-on with a black Nissan.
Sérgio Gadelha, the driver of the Nissan, died shortly after 11 p.m., on Jan. 23, 2021, along North University Drive, near Northwest 42 Place.
“Gadelha suffered multiple blunt force trauma injuries resulting in his death,” Sunrise Officer Thomas Nelson wrote in his 2021 arrest report.
Aside from alcohol, a toxicology report revealed Singh had also consumed fentanyl, cocaine, tramadol, opiates, and marijuana, police said.
Singh’s blood alcohol level was .269, over three times the legal limit in Florida. Witnesses and surveillance video showed he was at Hooters.
County records show Hollywood police officers arrested Singh and Broward Sheriff’s Office correctional deputies booked him on Wednesday.
Singh was at the main jail in Fort Lauderdale without bond. He was facing eight charges: Two counts of DUI causing death, vehicular homicide, two counts of DUI with damage, two counts of reckless driving, and driving with a suspended license.
