Childs' 2015 Chrysler 200 was one of four vehicles that were involved in the fatality, troopers said.

The wreck took place when a driver rear-ended Childs' car causing other cars to also get hit. Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers said that vehicles were at a stop due to traffic congestion when Childs' car was hit.

No one else involved in the wreck was hurt, including the children.
