An ICU nurse was arrested after she plowed through a red light and killed a pregnant mom, her boyfriend and baby boy, along with three others in a horror crash while she was allegedly drunk and fighting with her partner.
Niccole L. Linton, 37, a nurse from Texas who works in Los Angeles, was taken into custody for vehicular manslaughter after police said she slammed her car into five other vehicles while driving at 80 mph by an intersection at Windsor Hills.
Eight-month pregnant Asherey Ryan, 23, was pronounced dead at the scene alongside her one-year-old child Alonzo Luchiano Quintero and her unborn baby boy following the horrible crash.
The unborn child's father, Renald, was also killed in the crash after the car split in half immediately on impact, those close to the family confirmed.
Asherey, Renald, and little Alonzo were on their way to a doctor's appointment for a pregnancy check-up when the 'drunk' driver smashed into the car they were traveling in.
Tabia Johnson, a witness to the crash, took a photo of Linton sitting down on a nearby sidewalk following the crash, with the burning aftermath visible in the background.
Johnson, who condemned the woman's driving, said Linton only appeared to have suffered minor injuries, including bleeding near the head.
Linton is cooperating with investigators checking her bloodwork to see if she was under the influence when the fatal collision took place.
Linton will be booked after she's released from hospital and will be formally charged by Los Angeles County district attorney on Monday, according to the LA Times.

I just don't think it had anything in it that could have saved anyone in that crash.
It’s unbelievable that the driver of that car survived with just minor injuries. That car looked like a cruise missile going through that intersection.
How terrible. You never know when your time will come. Make the most of it while you can.
Most drunk drivers walk away don’t know why but it seems to happen more often than not!!
Well, she certainly showed HIM!
How could someone get mad at their boyfriend and then deliberately speed down the road and crash into other cars? It’s not going to physically hurt the boyfriend. I suspect alcohol or drugs was involved.
Holy sheet, that was a murder/suicide. She intended to take others out with her.
They should throw away the key for this one. She took all those lives so she deserves none at all.
She should probably be on a suicide watch. Maybe ask her if she needs some rope or something...
Some women go crazy easy and some Men go crazy easy also.
Journalism is pretty much dead. The writers have difficulty describing an incident.
In CA this is chargeable as second degree murder, including the fetus. I’ll bet even George Gascon charges this to the max
No we do not. Prayers for those who died and their families that they find peace.
Not a Mercedes fan at all but in this case the driver of the Mercedes was the perp and she came through very much intact.
Another death trap intersection
Your green light means nothing, quickly look both ways closely before entering the intersection if possible.
And why traffic circles will eliminate these horrific cross traffic intersection collisions. I know a lot of people don’t like them, but they save lives. You don’t have to worry about some moron broadsiding you at 65 mph.
The DM especially has a habit of expanding its stories with biographical details to provide color. The DM article on Anne Heche's crash has lots of info about her childhood and past romances and marriages, though that has nothing to do with the crash.
One would think so, but this is George Gascon. I think that if he does charge her to the max it will be to try to get good press to help him avoid the recall. It will be a political decision, not a justice-centered decision.
Or being an ICU nurse?
Drunk driver kills people. No kidding
I bet she was going more than 65, this was a horrific crash…no way these people saw this coming. Video is crazy….
