It was not immediately clear whether Linton, 37, had an attorney who could comment on her behalf. Eight people were taken to the hospital, including Linton. The car was going at least 50 mph (80 kph) as it raced through the crowded intersection, CHP Officer Franco Pepi said. Video showed the Mercedes careening through an intersection, striking at least two cars that exploded in flames and were sent hurtling onto a sidewalk, winding up against the gas station's corner sign. Television reports showed the blackened and mangled cars, as well as a child's car seat among the debris covering the street. Several people were flung from the cars and two vehicles caught fire. Thursday, a Mercedes-Benz sedan caused the crash involving as many as six cars near a gas station in the unincorporated Windsor Hills about 10 miles (16 kilometers) southwest of downtown LA, according to the California Highway Patrol. Two other women and a man, as well as a boy, were killed but their names were not made public Friday. Her unborn child was listed as “baby boy Ryan” in online coroner's records. The coroner’s office identified one of the victims Friday as Asherey Ryan, a 23-year-old pregnant woman from Los Angeles. Charges are expected to be filed with prosecutors. The California Highway Patrol on Friday said Nicole Lorraine Linton, who sustained moderate injuries in the collision, was taken into custody on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence.
