Windsor Hills Crash Trial: Jury Shown 130-MPH Crash Video
Jurors in the murder trial of Nicole Linton were shown graphic surveillance video of the 130-mph Windsor Hills crash that killed six people.
On August 4, 2022, a speeding Mercedes-Benz broadsided multiple vehicles at the intersection of Slauson and La Brea avenues in Windsor Hills, killing six people. Los Angeles prosecutors presented dramatic video evidence showing the vehicle traveling at 130 mph moments before impact without attempting to brake.
Chilling Video Evidence Presented in Los Angeles Court
Courtroom observers watched in silence as prosecutors played clear surveillance footage capturing the horrific collision. According to court records and Los Angeles County District Attorney evidence, travelling nurse Nicole Linton failed to slow down as she approached the busy intersection, resulting in a fiery crash that claimed six lives, including an unborn child.
“The speed, the force, and the total lack of braking created an inescapable catastrophe for everyone in that intersection.”

Defense Arguments and Toxicological Findings
While toxicological tests confirmed no alcohol or illegal substances were present, defense attorneys argued that Linton suffered a severe mental health episode behind the wheel. Reconstruction experts testified that the gas pedal was fully depressed for five seconds prior to impact, pushing the vehicle from 122 mph to 130 mph in a residential corridor.
- Vehicle speed was recorded at 130 mph upon impact at Slauson and La Brea.
- Six victims died in the collision, including pregnant mother Asherey Ryan and her unborn child.
- Defendant Nicole Linton faces six counts of murder and five counts of vehicular manslaughter.
The trial continues in Los Angeles Superior Court as the jury evaluates the defense's mental health claims against the prosecution's evidence of extreme reckless behavior.
