ST. PAUL (AP) A pregnant Somali woman and her daughter are those unaccounted for after the Mississippi River bridge collapse in Minneapolis.
Sadiya Sahal left her home at 5:15 p-m Wednesday with her two-year-old daughter Hanah Mohamed in the back seat.
According to a spokesman for the family, Sahal called her family several minutes later to say she was stuck in traffic on the bridge. She is five-months pregnant.
Sahal is a nursing student who came to the United States from Somalia seven years ago and graduated from Washburn High School in Minneapolis.
