After a car crash that killed six people and injured eight others, a 37-year-old nurse faces murder charges.
As the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office alleges, Nicole Linton crashed into several cars on Aug. 4, while speeding down La Brea Boulevard. According to KTLA-TV, Asherey Ryan, 23, her 11-month-old son Alonzo, and her fiancé, Reynold Lester, all died as a result.
Linton allegedly crashed into Ryan's vehicle, causing it to explode into flames, as she was heading to a prenatal checkup with her unborn child, son, and fiancé.
Besides the fatalities, six other vehicles were involved in the crash, and five people suffered minor injuries.
KABC-TV reports that police are investigating whether drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash.
Linton, who was working as a traveling nurse from Houston, Texas, was traveling at around 90 miles per hour in a Mercedes when she sped through a red light at the intersection of La Brea and Slauson avenues.
According to KABC, Linton was hospitalized after the crash. Her bail was initially set at $2 million, but it was later raised to $9 million.
Linton was charged Monday, Aug. 8, with six counts of murder and five counts of vehicular manslaughter.
Linton faces 90 years to life in prison if convicted of all charges.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said, "This is a case that will always be remembered for the senseless loss of so many innocent lives."
