LOS ANGELES- The woman accused of killing 6 people, including a pregnant woman and a toddler in a fiery crash appeared in court Monday to face charges of murder.
Nicole Lorraine Linton, 37, was charged with counts of murder and is also facing five counts of vehicular manslaughter, according to LA County District Attorney George Gascon, reports Fox 11 Los Angeles.
Linton, a nurse who works at Kaiser Permanente’s West LA Medical Center, appeared teary-eyed in court.
She was allegedly driving more than 100mph in a 35mph zone before going through a red-light Thursday and crashing into other cars.
Linton’s Mercedes-Benz struck at least 5 cars, and 2 of them went up in flames after the crash.
It’s unclear if Linton had a medical episode, or if she was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol during the time of the crash.
