N.D. Highway Patrol: Decrease speed during bad weather

The North Dakota Highway Patrol would like to remind motorists to decrease their speed during poor weather. Drivers should also leave a safe following distance and keep their eyes on the road.
On Monday, about 3:21 p.m., a one vehicle roll-over crash with multiple injuries occurred on Interstate 94 near Fargo.
A 2016 Ford Explorer operated by Fatuma Osman, 43, Moorhead, Minnesota, was traveling west on Interstate 94. Road conditions were poor due to accumulating snow and ice. Osman was driving too fast for road conditions and lost control of the Ford, entering the north ditch of Interstate 94.
The Ford traveled through the north ditch and struck a tree row along a fence dividing Interstate 94 and a Fargo frontage road. After striking multiple trees, the Ford rolled onto its roof, coming to rest in the north ditch of Interstate 94.
Osman and front seat passenger, Sumago Hassan, 21, Moorhead, along with a back seat passenger juvenile male from Moorhead, sustained serious, but non-life threatening injures. All were transported to a Fargo hospital.
After the roll-over crash occurred, multiple property crashes occurred at the same location. According to the N.D. Highway Patrol, this was due to motorists looking at the crash scene, not giving attention to the road and rear-ending each other or driving off the road to avoid collisions.
A total of four other motorists were involved in property crashes until emergency crews could respond and provide traffic control and assist individuals needing aid.
The injury crash remains under investigation by the Highway Patrol. The juveniles name will not be released.
