Nurse in deadly crash could be charged as soon as today

LOS ANGELES — Charges could be filed as early as today against a registered nurse from Houston who is suspected of speeding a Mercedes through a Windsor Hills intersection, Thursday, sparking a fiery crash that killed six people — including an infant and a pregnant woman.

Nicole Lorraine Linton, 37, was arrested, Friday, on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence. She was released from Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, this weekend, where she had been hospitalized with moderate injuries. Linton was now being held on $9 million bail at the Century Regional Detention Center, according to jail records. It was initially set at $2 million.

District Attorney George Gascón said, Friday, that his office would be “working with law enforcement throughout the weekend,” and the investigation could be presented to his office for consideration of charges “as early as Monday.”
