Willard, MO – Willard, Missouri, mourns the loss of Kallista Fisher, a beloved 17-year-old Senior at Willard High School, whose life ended tragically in a devastating three-vehicle collision. The heart-wrenching news was shared via social media, leaving a community shattered by grief.
Expressing the depths of a parent’s anguish, a poignant social media post conveyed, “I’m living every parent’s worst nightmare… No parent should have to bury their child. Kallista Fisher I love you so much & miss you with all my heart.”
The fatal incident unfolded involving a Willard School District bus, under investigation by the Missouri Highway Patrol. Kallista Fisher was pronounced deceased at the scene, while two other drivers sustained injuries. School authorities confirmed no students were present on the bus during the collision.
According to investigators, the collision occurred on State Highway 266, initiated when an SUV, departing from a Dollar General parking lot, intersected the path of the westbound school bus. In response, the bus driver veered across the center line, resulting in a head-on collision with the teenage driver of a pickup truck. Tragically, Kallista Fisher lost her life in the impact, also causing damage to a utility pole.
