A Texas nurse was hit with murder and manslaughter charges by Los Angeles County prosecutors over a fiery, high-speed crash last week that killed six people, including a pregnant woman.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon announced Monday that Nicole Linton, 37, of Houston, was charged with six counts of murder and five counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence.
One of the victims is the pregnant woman’s unborn child, whose death California law allows to result in a murder charge.
Surveillance video captured the crash in the Windsor Hills neighborhood, at the busy intersection of Slauson and La Brea avenues around 1:40 p.
