(KNZA)--A construction worker, killed last weekend while at work overnight on I-49 in Cass County, Missouri, has ties to the local area.

According to the obituary for 35-year-old Jonathon Wilson, he leaves behind his wife, Alexandria Daniels Wilson, who grew up in Hiawatha.

Funeral arrangements for Wilson are pending at Hiawatha’s Chapel Oaks Funeral Home.

He was a resident of Kansas City, Missouri.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Wilson was killed when a Ford pickup truck struck him during the early morning hours of October 8. The driver then fled the scene on foot.

Fox 4-TV reports an Independence, Missouri man was later arrested as the alleged driver that caused the fatal accident.

24-year-old Trent Mitchell entered a plea of not guilty this week to the charges he faces in connection with Wilson's death, including driving while intoxicated and involuntary manslaughter.
