Nicole Linton convicted of murder in crash that killed 6

A Los Angeles jury has found Nicole Linton guilty of six counts of second-degree murder. Linton, a traveling nurse, sped through an intersection in Windsor Hills in 2022 in a crash that killed six people. FOX 11 Los Angeles posted its short report on the verdict, and within about a day it had passed 200,000 views. A typical first day for one of the station's shorts brings fewer than 8,000.

The comment section moved even faster than the views. Hundreds of people wrote in, where a FOX 11 short usually draws a couple of dozen comments on its first day. Many of them return to the same question: how the driver survived a crash that took six lives. Others turn to the sentence still to come. Some write that they remember the day it happened. One commenter says they think of it every time they drive through that intersection.

The verdict led a heavy news weekend for the station. Its report on a man arrested in the killing of a Culver City bus driver also ran several times ahead of a usual first day. A week-long heat wave and the Bouquet Fire near Santa Clarita, which forced evacuations, filled the rest of the feed.
