LOS ANGELES—A nurse from Houston accused of running a red light and speeding into a Windsor Hills intersection, sparking a fiery chain-reaction crash that killed six people—including a pregnant mother, her infant son, and her unborn baby—was charged Aug. 8 with six counts of murder.
Nicole Lorraine Linton, 37, was also charged with five counts of gross vehicular manslaughter for Aug. 4’s crash at La Brea and Slauson avenues. District Attorney George Gascón said his office cannot file the manslaughter charge in a case involving an unborn child.
