Officers from the California Highway Patrol arrested a woman on Friday for reportedly causing a ferocious multi-car collision in Windsor Hills that killed 6 people, along with a baby and a pregnant woman.
According to NBC4, Nicole L. Linton, noted as a nurse from Texas by multiple law enforcement sources, will be booked after she is released from a hospital where she is currently being treated for injuries inflicted in the crash.
Members of Linton’s family also confirmed his arrest.
