Driver was named Mohammed?
“Hold mah beer; watch this!”?
Iowa is a big place. For those who are interested but don’t want to do a search, it was in Pella, a bit east of Des Moines.
Pella as in the windows?
Yes, the home of Pella windows. 45 milees east of Des Moines.
I’m suspicious they don’t name the driver or give a description of them.
