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.

What did her employers know and when did they know it.

Oh, just let her go. She’s a checkbox hire who has enough boxes to check to render all of this null and void.

Because she was willing to be injected with whatever and the people who were actually competent were not.

It is not that hard to figure out.

"Her bond was set at $9 million. That is steep in any jurisdiction."

From the article:

" . . . [she] 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."

That is irresponsible lenience in any jurisdiction.

“”she’s the right color that’s why.””

The whole country is going to be thinking this way before too long and sadly, it appears to be true. We can thank that person who moved into the WH in 2009. Both he and his wife set out to change the “complexion” of the country and they succeeded.

Don’t forget HOW PROUD she was of her country that day!!!!! Well, we were proud of our country BEFORE that day!

Video seems to show her hand out the window holding a cell phone?

The only video shown on the linked article is from the passenger side. Where's the image of the phone being held out of the window?

Thanks.

That’s really strange.

Meanwhile...

AMN Healthcare Services Inc. Q2 Profit Increases, beats estimates

It really did.

Now I'm thinking we might have a really good idea just how they did it...

omg, that looks like it was a fraction of a second before the crash!

Was she filming that on Facebook Live or Instagram?!

I’m thinking more and more that this may have been an attempted suicide/murder. A collision at 100mph into cross traffic? I’m amazed she’s still alive.

Throw the entire book at her and lock her up for the duration.

Travel nurses have a rep. One set a coworker on fire in New Jersey earlier this year.

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.


I doubt it. Shortly they will be importing nurses from around the world for those jobs. No way that $100k+ a year keeps up.

Victims are getting closer to being to able to get a hook into deep pockets. Still a long way to go but there are possibilities

gotta hand it to asherey’s sister. She struck while the iron was hot using all the victims in the car to get money for her mom. Poor baby daddy has been taken off the GFM of $160k and only has $9k which doesn’t pay for a funeral in that area. I feel like he is being short changed as is the father of the toddler who died who is the heir of poor toddler

Does she have a California driver license or a Texas driver license?

That’s the question to be answered.
