Authorities say Siemubonue Torh (39, Fargo) was traveling the wrong way on the interstate when he collided with a semi just before 1 a.m.  Two men, from Regina, Saskatchewan, who were in the semi, were not hurt.

. . . Authorities say the Fargo man was traveling northbound on the southbound road when he struck a long haul truck head on. Updated: Fargo man dies after traveling northbound on southbound I-94 near Grandin

Because the bottom of a truck is higher than the bumper of passenger vehicles, when there is a collision the smaller vehicle easily slides under the truck and the first point of impact is the windshield. Seatbelts, airbags, and car crumple zones do not function as intended in underride crashes —front, side, and rear — leaving passenger vehicle occupants vulnerable to life-threatening injuries.

Major truck manufacturers have Front Underride Protection designs which can work on American trucks.
