The traveling ICU nurse who killed six people in a horror crash in Los Angeles on Thursday after plowing her Mercedes 90mph through a busy intersection has a 'profound' history of mental illness and has been involved in 13 prior crashes, but was still somehow subcontracted to work in a hospital and allowed to drive.
Nicole Lorraine Linton, 37, is in custody on six murder charges as a result of Thursday's crash.
Among those she killed was pregnant Asherey Ryan, 23, her one-year-old son Alonzo and Reynold Lester, the father of Asherey's unborn baby, who also died.
On Tuesday, Craig Pitchford was named as another victim. Two other female victims remain unidentified.
Linton is from Houston, Texas, and was in Los Angeles working as a contractor at the Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Hospital.
She was working for the nursing contractor group AMN Healthcare, which she joined in October 2020.

Forget it, Jake - it’s Los Angeles.
Forget the driver’s license; why was she allowed to be a nurse?
Well...she’s the right color that’s why.
Affirmative Action hire — more bs
Black privilege.
Because they are short on nurses.
“profound history of mental health issues”—Translation: She smoked a lot of weed.
She’s in a privileged class, so expect the wheels of justice to grind ever so slowly here.
At least she won’t be able to do this again.
After what I’ve seen from various medical “professions” since the COVID fiasco began more than two years ago, I’m going to suggest that the standards for working in a medical facility may as well be non-existent.
Look at her, not a scratch.
At least she won’t be able to do this again.
= = =
With a little good behavior, she can drive the prison bus.
I posit it’s a ‘content of character’ issue. Namely lack of self control when emotions run wild.
Health care is going the same way, unfortunately, as our public schools, police departments, industry - in every profession, especially those where an employees’ UNION is involved, there are fewer and fewer qualified people queuing up for available jobs. Go to your local ER and just look casually around. How many of the folks that you see would you trust if you were seriously ill or gravely injured?
“Professional standards - whaaaa.....? what does that MEAN???!!!! I showed up for work on time today in spite of my court date! My uniform is clean! I put makeup over my track marks!”
Ask me why I stay away from hospitals, clinics, etc, over the last 20 years.
Was she “streaming” the wreck as she did it?
Video seems to show her hand out the window holding a cell phone?
Why?
She has “The Card”!
Was it California that let her have a driver license, or was it Texas, the state she lived, that permitted her to have a driver license?
“She’s in a privileged class, so expect the wheels of justice to grind ever so slowly here.”
Her bond was set at $9 million.
That is steep in any jurisdiction.
Bingo.
I worked with a guy (2012)...he was married to a nurse, and she was getting weekly job offers for the traveling nurse routine (she had five different certifications, and had done a lot of time in emergency rooms). They were talking 100,000 a year, 3 months at a time at hospital with a month of break inbetween, full hotel costs, daily per diem, and a rental car.
I’d tell any person at age 18 today, it’s guaranteed work for the rest of your life if you had certifications and were willing to travel.
