Nicole Lorraine Linton is a 37-year-old registered nurse in California and Texas.
Linton had to be extracted from her vehicle and was taken to a local hospital, where she has been cooperating with CHP investigators, according to the Times.
Investigators believe Linton was driving at more than 100 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone when she plowed into cars at the Windsor Hills intersection at around 1:40 p.m. after blowing a red light, sending the other vehicles careening toward a corner gas station.
She is scheduled to be formally charged by the L.A. D.A. on Monday.
While police are still investigating if drugs or alcohol were involved, a friend of Linton told KTLA, “She was drinking and she was not aware it was a red light because she shot straight through.”
