For some reason, this reminds me of the Michael Hastings mystery.

This nurse wasn't racing anyone, and even if she was suicidal (no evidence of that all) it would have been a very peculiar way to off herself. As for DUI...maybe, I suppose.

Nurse Jackie should’ve laid off the pills.

“On June 18, 2013, Hastings died in a single-vehicle automobile crash in his Mercedes-Benz C250 Coupé at approximately 4:25 a.m. in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.[56] A witness to the crash said the car seemed to be traveling at maximum speed and was creating sparks and flames before it fishtailed and crashed into a palm tree.[57][58] Video from a nearby security camera reportedly shows Hastings’s vehicle speeding and bursting into flames”

“In an email to colleagues, which was copied to and released by Hastings’s friend Army Staff Sergeant Joe Biggs,[71] Hastings said that he was “onto a big story”, that he needed to “go off the radar”, and that the FBI might interview them.[72][73] WikiLeaks announced that Hastings had also contacted Jennifer Robinson, one of his lawyers, a few hours prior to the crash,[74] and the LA Weekly reported that he was preparing new reports on the CIA at the time of his death.[75]”

She had an argument with her boyfriend just prior to the accident. I suppose a stuck accelerator, either the pedal or linkage/electronics could be possible. Haven't heard anything but at first blush seems intentional/suicidal.

A full-on explosion due to bullet-like impact. Wow.

Someone on the net pointed out that her left arm is out the window holding up a cell phone. When I slowed the film down there is a little part of her arm and hand holding something. Was she making a video of this? Her suicide? Or was she drinking as someone else who claimed to be her friend said, (she was drinking and didn’t know the light had changed).

How could she not see a line of cars ahead of her in broad daylight and even at 100mph you can see that. Was she trying to commit suicide? Drunk?

Why is it so often that the guilty party is the one who lives, and the innocent die?

Looking at that film of the accident, it is clear she had reckless disregard for life. At the rate of speed she was traveling, this was no accident. It is so sad for those killed. It's just a normal afternoon, and then WHAM!

I hope she rots in jail the rest of her life.

She was probably drunk and pissed after fighting with her boyfriend. This was no Hastings type thing.

She probably took off down the street from where she was visiting and drinking with her foot pressing the pedal to the floor and the rest is history.

As well the deeply MAGA rep who was killed in a car accident this week: At first it was reported that the other car veered into her lane, and then corrected that it was hers going off track.

Thanks. That video is unbelievable. Heavy traffic and faster than on a stretch of country miles. Gas pedal had to have gotten stuck or brakes failed.

Or something.

I find it absolutely amazing that this nurse apparently survived this high speed crash with just minor injuries. Everybody around her was instantly killed.

I got t-boned and almost killed by a 19 yr old girl having an argument with her boyfriend when she shot out of a street where there was a stop sign….and she moved so fast that even though I stopped at that intersection because I knew the folks who lived on that street weren’t really good on traffic signs, she shot up just as I was in the middle of the crossing.

If I hadn’t remembered the most important rule of all…always keep control of the vehicle….I would have let myself lose the wheel and go into a culvert where many people had lost their lives. Thank you Defensive Driving class!

But the funny part of the story, is that Tanisha (I think that was her name) got out and threw herself down on the ground and had a fit. She had survived even though the engine had crashed through the wall and was in the seat next to her.

What she was really worried about was that it was her Daddy’s car (and insurance) and she was screaming that he was going to kill her, Maybe he should have, but he didn’t. He had the basic minimum insurance, so I didn’t get enough to even make a down payment on a new vehicle.

But personally in the case in LA, I don’t think there was a vehicle malfunction. She was just mad at her boyfriend, which apparently trumps all common sense.

It does seem that way, doesn’t it?

Windsor Hills crash victim, son, and fiancé were headed to pregnancy checkup https://ktla.com/news/local-news/windsor-hills-crash-victim-son-and-fiance-were-headed-to-pregnancy-checkup/

'Asherey was six months pregnant. Her unborn child, whom she planned to name Armani, also died.

“It’s hard to believe I’m never going to see them again. I can’t even imagine staring over her casket. This has definitely taken a huge chunk of me.” Davis told reporters, struggling to contain her emotions.

'California Highway Patrol arrested Linton on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter even though she remained hospitalized with undisclosed injuries.

'“Why is she still alive?” asked one family member at Friday’s gathering. “Of all these lives that were lost, why is she still alive?”'

It was John Brennan who he was going to expose in an article.

She should be charged with seven counts of first degree homicide.
