Nicole Linton was a traveling nurse who was charged with second-degree murder for a high-speed 2022 crash in Windsor Hills that killed six people. LOS ANGELES — A traveling nurse who ran a red light in Windsor Hills at 130 mph and caused a crash that killed six people, including an unborn baby, was convicted Friday of six counts of second-degree murder. Jurors convicted Nicole Linton, 41, after roughly three hours of deliberations in downtown Los Angeles. The charges stemmed from the Aug. 4, 2022, crash at the intersection of La Brea and Slauson avenues. The jury began its deliberations at 9 a.m. Friday and announced it had reached its verdict by midday.

Linton could be sent to prison for life when she is sentenced Dec. 1. Linton’s attorney contended during the trial that Linton suffered a seizure that left her unable to stop the speeding Mercedes-Benz. Those killed in the crash included 23-year-old Asherey Ryan of Los Angeles, who relatives said was 8 1/2 months pregnant, along with her unborn child, who was to be named Armani Lester, her 11-month-old son Alonzo Quintero and her 23-year-old boyfriend, Reynold Lester of Los Angeles, who were in a Jaguar that was split “in half.” Nathesia Lewis, 43, and her friend, 38-year-old Lynette Noble, who were in a Nissan, were also killed.
