This is horrifying, and watching it happen in real-time also breaks my heart.
The accident occurred in L.A., and it’s baffling how this woman could have run a red light like that.
The accident claimed six lives, including an 11-month baby and his pregnant mom.
Eight other people, including six kids, were taken to the hospital with injuries. I pray to God they recover.
There are many unanswered questions surrounding this crash, but one has just been answered.
Now, we know who the driver is and the likely reason the accident happened. So now it’s time to bring you the story.
You’ll see the woman’s Mercedes come FLYING down the street like a bat out of hell and just plow straight into on-coming traffic. The moment of impact is so intense that the cars just burst into flames.
The driver survived. After you watch this clip, I will tell you more about her.
Watch:
KTLA reported:
Witnesses looked on with horror after a crash in the Windsor Hills Thursday caused by a speeding driver who ran through a red light.
“It’s just like a bomb. A child was in the street…had got ejected. A pregnant mother was lying over to the side,” Alphonso Word told KTLA.
Investigators believe the driver of a Mercedes was traveling at more than 100 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone when she plowed into cars at the intersection of South La Brea and Slauson avenues around 1:40 p.m., killing six people and injuring eight others.
According to the California Highway Patrol, several people were ejected from vehicles as a result of the crash, and two vehicles were engulfed in flames.
Among those killed: were 23-year-old Asherey Ryan, of Los Angeles, her unborn child, and her infant.
CHP officials said the driver, who survived the crash, was arrested. Her name is Nicole Lorraine Linton, and she’s a registered nurse originally from Texas.
Six children and two adults were among those hospitalized after the crash.
Linton had to be extricated from her vehicle.
Police have not confirmed whether alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash, but a friend of the suspect told KTLA she may have been impaired following a fight with her boyfriend.
“She was drinking, and she was not aware it was a red light because she shot straight through,” the woman said.
We’ll have to see where this leads and if these claims from the so-called “friend” that KTLA reported are even accurate.
Though, as it stands now, the deaths and injuries are what we should be focused on, and go ahead and send these grieving and worried families all the prayers we can muster.
This is just such a horrific situation.
