Hayden Wilson Arrested in Fatal Collision on Highway 63

Unborn Child Dies in Moberly Crash; Teen Driver Arrested for Suspected DWI

Moberly, MO (November 10, 2025) — A tragic crash on Highway 63, late Saturday night claimed the life of an unborn baby and left two people injured, leading to the arrest of 19-year-old Hayden Wilson

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the horrific collision happened shortly after 11 p.m. on Highway 63, about two miles south of Moberly.

Authorities said Wilson of Novelty, Missouri, was driving a pickup truck from a side road and failed to yield, pulling into the path of a southbound pickup driven by another 19-year-old from Fairfield, Iowa.

The impact injured both drivers and a pregnant passenger from Fairfield, identified as a 23-year-old woman. She suffered serious injuries, and her unborn baby was later pronounced dead at University Hospital in Columbia.

Troopers said Wilson, who was not wearing a seat belt, sustained minor injuries. He was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter, two counts of DWI involving serious injury, and failure to yield.

When a Fatal Accident Changes Everything

There are no words that can truly capture the pain of losing someone you love in a crash. The grief is deep, the shock is overwhelming, and life can feel completely turned upside down. On top of the emotional heartbreak, many families also find themselves facing sudden financial struggles — from medical bills and funeral costs to the loss of the income and support their loved one once provided.

During moments like these, please remember that you don’t have to carry this burden alone. A wrongful death claim isn’t just about money, it’s about seeking justice, accountability, and support for your family as you begin to heal.

This legal process can help cover essential expenses, such as:

Funeral and burial costs
Medical care from your loved one’s final moments
Lost wages and future financial support
Emotional loss and companionship

But more importantly, it’s a way to stand up for your loved one, to make sure their story is heard, and that the person responsible is held accountable.
