Names released in fatal accident near Merrill

September 18, 2018 By Radio Iowa Contributor

One person died in this accident near Merrill.

The Iowa State Patrol has released the names of those involved in a fatal accident Monday evening on Highway 75 near Merrill.

The driver of the first vehicle was 38-year-old Mohamed Abdullahi-Mohamud of Sioux City. Abdullahi-Mohamud was driving a Nissan Rogue heading southbound when his vehicle dropped off the travel portion onto the west shoulder. Abdullahi-Mohamud then over-corrected and lost control, crossing two

southbound lanes and a center turn lane. He then collided nearly head-on with a Dodge Dakota pickup truck, driven by 33-year-old Sarah Landsness of

Le Mars. Abdullahi-Mohamud suffered life threatening injuries. His vehicle had three other passengers. Six-year-old Ayaan Ibrahn was killed in the accident. Eight-month-old Rayan Arab suffered serious injuries, and 34-year-old Hawo Arab had non life threatening injuries. Landsness also suffered serious injuries.
