Collision Of Two Semis Claims A Life


Le Mars – One person was killed when two semis collided Tuesday in Plymouth County.

The Iowa State Patrol says 28-year-old Mohammed Wajid of Chicago, Illinois was driving a 2017 Freightliner northbound on a county road when he failed to stop at an intersection and collided with another semi driven by 49-year-old Timothy Wilken of Akron. Troopers say the semi driven by Wajid struck the trailer of the rig driven by Wilken splitting it in half and setting some surrounding fields on fire.

Wajid was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The collision took place a little after 12:30 p.m.
