The accident occurred on April 11th at approximately 4:55 a.m. in Hudson, Ohio.
According to the Hiram Ohio State Highway Patrol, motorist Ayaan Mohamed initially entered the Ohio Turnpike in Strongsville, but at some point, she turned around in the middle of the interstate and began traveling the wrong way. Mohamed then collided with an oncoming 2015 Volvo semi truck, mangling her vehicle and trapping her inside.
