Former Nurse Found Guilty in 130-Mph Crash that Killed 6 in Windsor Hills
Prosecutors say the nurse reached 130 mph before the red-light collision that killed six people and left burned vehicles scattered at the intersection.
- On Friday, a Los Angeles jury convicted traveling nurse Nicole Lorraine Linton of six counts of second-degree murder after roughly three hours of deliberations, stemming from the August 4, 2022 crash at La Brea and Slauson avenues in Windsor Hills.
- Prosecutors said Linton left her job mid-shift at Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles furious with co-workers; her Mercedes-Benz accelerated from 122 mph to 130 mph before running a red light in a 35-mph zone, triggering an eight-vehicle pileup.
- Deputy District Attorney Antonella Nistorescu argued Thursday the crash was 'entirely preventable' and 'She was conscious that entire time,' presenting evidence she said was 'inconsistent with her having a seizure.'
- Outside the courthouse Friday, family members chanted 'justice for the Slauson six,' with Shaseana Kerr, sister of victim Asherey Ryan, saying 'we'll still all be prisoners of grief because grief doesn't end' as Linton faces 90 years to life in prison.
- The six victims included 23-year-old Asherey Ryan, eight and a half months pregnant with unborn son Armani, her 11-month-old son Alonzo Quintero, boyfriend Reynold Lester, 23, and friends Lynette Noble, 38, and Nathesia Lewis, 43; a memorial bench honoring the Slauson 6 was unveiled at the intersection one year later.
