The nurse accused of killing five people last week when her Mercedes plowed into traffic at a busy Windsor Hills intersection had been involved in 13 previous crashes, Los Angeles County prosecutors alleged Monday in charging her with murder.
the driver, Nicole Lorraine Linton, 37
The Mercedes does not appear to slow before running a red light shortly after 1:30 p.m. The light had been red for nine seconds before the car barreled through the intersection, slamming into multiple cars, prosecutors said. The Mercedes burst into flames and hurtled into a light pole, where it came to rest.
Prosecutors say Linton was speeding as fast as 90 mph.
At least six vehicles were involved in the crash, according to California Highway Patrol investigators. In addition to the fatalities, eight people were injured.
Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón said there is no evidence of any alcohol use by Linton at this point.
In announcing charges against her Monday, he declined to discuss what led to the crash, saying it was still under investigation and he was “not going to get into the details.”
Linton was charged Monday with six counts of murder and five counts of gross vehicular manslaughter. The vehicular manslaughter charges are for the deaths of the four adults and the baby, who was about two weeks shy of his first birthday. Ryan’s unborn child cannot be included in those charges.
Linton faces up to life in prison if convicted of all charges.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Natalie Stone denied her bail, which previously had been set at $9 million, at the request of the district attorney’s office, which said she is a flight risk. Linton was set to leave L.A. and travel to Hawaii for work, prosecutors said.

Good gosh!!
Saw her picture. The police obviously picked on her through racism for driving while black.
I believe if you get a dui in Nebraska you lose your nursing liscense, how did she keep hers with all that?
Terrible accident.
Bradley Stephens, a former Neurologist with the Military , has posted something that indicates he knows the family and the perp. Says she has a untreated mental illness but is functional.
She seemed to have no feeling when Judge was talking about how she killed people
Gascon will give her an ankle monitor and suspended sentence so she can go out and have 15th accident.
Flabbergasted.
This is a Soros-DA feature, not a bug.
You assume she was DUI, rather than in extreme psychotic rage.
“Says she has a untreated mental illness but is functional.”
Definition of democrat.
She was in LA so she probably thought blacks here are supposed to drive as if they're being chased by the Po-lice.
Then we will see her on DOG-The Bounty Hunter as she skips bail.
If Moochelle had a sister...
I saw the video. That was no accident. It looked like some sort of suicidal road rage episode. The Kalifornia hospital where she was working refused to disclose how she was vetted. Gee! What a surprise.
Not flabbergasted,BLACK.........
Like in the armed forces, if you’re are of a certain rank, you are required to self report.
She was required but did not.
Chased by the po-lice....
On a cop show rerun the nice black detective did a standup routine at a club.
“I spent five minutes last night out of habit running through the city streets from the police. Then I remembered: now I am the police.”
Clearly, the solution is to ban civilian ownership of cars.
