North Dakota Highway Patrol: Aggressive Driving leads to I-94 crash

(Fargo, ND) -- Eastbound traffic came to a standstill on I-94 following a vehicle / motorcycle crash that officials say was caused by aggressive driving.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a 2007 Yamaha motorcycle, driven by 20-year-old Moorhead Resident Saher Ismael, was weaving between multiple lanes of traffic at high speeds. A 2014 Chevy Impala, driven by 21-year-old Hawley resident Abigail Embersole, attempted to change lanes as Ismael attempted to do the same at high speed. Witnesses say the motorcycle rear-ended with Embersole's vehicle, ejecting Ismael over the Impala and coming to rest on the highway. 

Ismael was taken to Sanford Hospital with serious but nonlife-threatening injuries. No other injuries were reported resulting from the crash.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol says this is a reminder for drivers to drive safely and obey speed limits on roadways. The NDHP is investigating the crash.
