A horrific chain-reaction accident on Interstate 44 in far northeast Oklahoma has claimed a 10th victim.
Tina Freeman of Freeman Hospital in Joplin, Mo., confirmed on Sunday that Shelby Hayes had died.
The 35-year-old Frisco, Texas, resident was admitted to the hospital in critical condition with head, internal and external injuries stemming from Friday's crash near Miami. Her husband, son and mother were pronounced dead the day of the crash.
A tractor-trailer headed east on the highway slammed into cars that had stopped on the highway because of a previous accident, trapping some victims in wreckage for up to nine hours.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says a routine criminal investigation is under way.
