Boston Police report arresting a West Virginia man who was wanted for causing a Pennsylvania crash that killed a mother of two who was eight months pregnant in August.

Everett Clayton, 56, was arrested outside the Chief Medical Examiner's office Albany Street, across from Boston Medical Center shortly before 2 p.m. on Wednesday, police say.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Clayton took a turn too sharply in his dump truck in Lower Providence Township on Aug. 25, causing him to fishtail and ram a Tahoe driven by the woman, a local school teacher with two children. The impact sent her vehicle into a field, where it overturned and she and her unborn child died.

Also charged in connection with the crash: The dump truck's owner, who allegedly used a fake name to buy the truck and then never registered or maintained it.

Clayton is now being held here as a fugitive from justice pending his extradition to face charges that include homicide by vehicle in Pennsylvania, police say.
