COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A 19-year-old man from northeast Missouri was charged this week with driving drunk in a crash that killed an unborn child.

Hayden J. Wilson of Edina, Missouri, was charged Monday with DWI causing death and two counts of DWI causing serious physical injuries. All three charges are felonies.

Investigators say Wilson was driving late on Nov. 8, 2025, when he failed to yield while crossing Highway 63 at Randolph County Road 2610 and was hit by another vehicle. Two passengers were hurt, including a pregnant woman who lost her unborn child, according to a probable cause statement.

A breath test showed Wilson's blood-alcohol content was 0.075.

Wilson was not in the Randolph County Jail on Friday morning.
