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.

Was her “untreated mental illness” the one where immature people react to any level of adversity by losing all self control, foresight, and concern for harming others while going ape-shit? Seems to be a pandemic of that.
What about drugs moron? She's a nurse who probably has access to them. Why is this guy still in office? Right away trying to defend her. Speaking of mental issues, they should put Gascon under observation.
Pretty much confirms the black privilege card being used in previous incidents.
They are finally having to do something about her now that she has killed people. Boy, that happens a lot.
Why was this woman’s driver’s license not revoked a long time ago and she given jail time?
Oh, come on. I think you know the answer.
How did she get insurance?
It Was no ‘Accident’
FRiend.
Forget it, Jake...it's LA.
That was no accident.
So THAT’S where OJ Simpson went!
here is dead baby’s father.

I thought this leftist pos lost his job?
Until she wasn't.
Because they likely didn't vet her; she was a traveling nurse and that company would have vetted her.
there is some crazy driving in LA. I can’t wrap my head around this guy turning left as cars are coming in both directions..but the nutjob nurse takes the cake

Pretty ironic that all the stories talk about the “tragic” death of the unborn baby, but would have cheered the death if the mother had instead aborted it a few minutes before the collision.
Shew was waving her hand out the car window a moment before the crash. So we know she was alert.
Common trait with that particular demographic.
