'Nurse was driving 130 mph when she allegedly killed six in fiery Los Angeles crash

[NYP] The nurse facing murder charges for the fiery Los Angeles crash that killed five was going 130 mph — it was revealed on Sunday — 40 miles faster than previously thought.

Nicole Linton, 37, was initially thought to be driving her Mercedes at 90 mph, but court papers obtained by the Los Angles Times on Sunday said she floored the pedal for at least five seconds before deliberately speeding into La Brea and Slauson avenues on Aug. 4.

"Further analysis reveals that her speed at impact was in fact 130 mph and that she floored the gas pedal for at least the 5 seconds leading into the crash, going from 122 mph to 130 mph," said the filing, which was released on Friday.

Prosecutors laid waste to the claims that she lost consciousness by citing surveillance video and data from her Mercedes. The documents said Linton had "complete control over steering, maintaining the tilt of the steering wheel to keep her car traveling directly toward the crowded intersection."

Skipping the victim piece, it's Linton's medical condition that is important now.

Linton’s attorneys last month filed medical forms that detailed her struggle with bipolar disorder and included a determination by doctors that the nurse had an "apparent lapse of consciousness" at the time of the crash.

#1 None of this should negatively impact nurse Nicole's motor vehicle or multi-engine commercial pilot's licenses. After all, it is California.

Shouldn't a driver's license have the same restrictions as a firearm?

Both are equally deadly in the wrong hands.
