#losAngeles #carcrash #caughtoncamera
How ironic she is Registered Nurse from Houston…u are supposed to help save lives…urs( her) was spared so u can live the rest of ur life knowing u killed these innocent people..I hope u don’t sleep well from now on!
Also some of the bodies were likely dissolved 100%
The baby’s name was likely Alonzo
SOMETHING AINT RIGHT???? 1. SHE NEVER SLOWS DOWN. 2. THE TRAFFIC IS ALREADY MOVING. 3. CHK THE CAR.. 4. SOMETHING AINT RIGHT ABOUT HER CAR…
THE FAMILIES NEED TO HAVE A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION OF CAR AND WHAT SHE SAYS HAPPENED AS A LIVING WITNESS..
The driver is a nurse from Houston, who was working in LA. I wonder what will be her story when she comes out of hospital care.
Doesn’t surprise me at all. That’s how they drive in Texas and get away with it. I hope California makes a example out her so that maybe Texas will stop looking the other way at red light and stop sign runner’s..
pain medication is usually opioid derived – not alcohol, amphetamine, nor cannabis derived – you news reporters are both uneducated and lazy – to the point of being irresponsible imho – you need to find a new jobs
That she survived is her punishment- she will have to live with this and the consequences for the rest of her life. It was confirmed by the news that it wasn’t a stroke, it wasn’t that her brakes failed, it was that she was drunk after fighting with her boyfriend and decided to get behind the wheel. People- if you are upset, even just sad doesn’t have to be angry, that is NEVER a good time to be driving. Especially if you are drunk, but I would hope that’s a given.
En Guatemala no quieren que hable de lo que pasa en realidad con la migración irregular.

Make that driver attend every victim’s funeral. Make her witness the consequences of her actions. And jail time of course.
Why do the killers allways live
That woman at gas station was Hella scared 😱
I pray she lost her nursing license immediately. She knew better than to drink and drive nor drive at high speeds in traffic. She knew her car could become a weapon of mass destruction.
I bet that seeing a baby fly thru the air and land on your car is a real experience.
If a man crashed the car he would be in jail for life
Where are the feminists wanting equality?
Rest in piece and I pray for all involved
Just watched the car crash by Anne Heche. What’s wrong with these ppl
She probably won’t face any major consequence because we have a District Attorney that doesn’t like to prosecute people for committing serious crimes. Plus she’s a female. We live in a feminist society and the gynocentric court system favors women.
Give her the death penalty! RIP to the victims.
As terrible as this whole thing is, why does the media always keep their attention focused on the pregnant woman, boyfriend, and baby? Weren’t there others who lost their lives in that accident as well? I think all the people who perished in that accident should also be mentioned and have homage paid to them and their families as well.
Oh no!! Is that the baby flying out of the car?
That’s suicide.
Time to sue the car Manufacturer.
WTH
Amazing. For days said six people died. Now were down to five. The unborn dosnt count.
Alcohol test was still possibe. So i assume that she wasnt under the influence of alcohol.
I’m waiting for cars to use GPS to limit speed when onnpublicly marked roads
Just image the car in front and back..the fact that it could have been them wow ..it’s said she had 13 accidents Pryor 🤦🏽♂️🤬🤬🥵
Ban cars now!
If you pay attention to the right side of video near pump you can see the baby 😢
This was so hard to watch. Could have easily been to any one of us watching and reading this right now.
Condolences to all the victims and their families…
SHOW HER FACE!!
Omg. This is so sad. The baby got flown into the air. 😭
Wow can you imagine a baby flying in the air while you’re pumping gas and dying in front of you 😱……….. I would not even be able to sleep or eat for a long long while RiP for all those who died 😔
If I saw a baby fly from a car and die right in front of me I would be hysterical and absolutely breathless. This lady is way stronger then I am having witnessed all this.
And the suspect was a black female too??? Bro just let her have it. Throw the entire book at her. And make it unlawful for women to drive.
Different perspective.
Mercedes makes safe cars.
50-60mph? More like 100-120mph
But insurance company will say women are safer drivers 🤡 my experience with women drivers, cutting me off on the highway while me still going 10-15 mph above the speed limit, peeling out of an intersection as I’m approaching causing me to spin out, and I drive a bright red car. Had to get a dash cam just to record all this stupidity, but you know me being 25, my insurance rate is through the roof! Meanwhile I’ve seen my mom cause 5 accidents to her brand new car over the last 5 years. This is why I always advocate for mandatory written and live retest every 5 years for all state license holders. That way the crashes in America would be severely decrease. And 1 strike policy, if you fail you have to take a course and then get certified for a retest.
That black car right after the clash missed it him by a half second 😮
What the driver was a black woman, no charges!!!!!
OMG…terrible…no mercy no mercy for the driver…let her rot in jail…you are CRAZY driver,WOMAN!!!!
We need to ban assault cars.
Self driving cars a must
She was in a hurry to get to a peaceful BLM protest.
How did the driver survive? She gotta be drunk! And that’s not 50 mph, more like 100mph+
White girl driving daddy Mercedes-Benz kills safe drivers on a weekend,Now is pretended by white cops.she kills five people let me know if I got that right 🕵️👀🦻👍🏻 pretty sure I did.
Sad part is it’s LA so the charges will probably be dropped.
Did the driver have a medical emergency…under the influence of drugs and alcohol? Why did she travel hundreds of miles from Houston to CA to commit suicide or was she sending a message to someone else 🤔 😕
Too bad she was given pain medication! She should have been made to suffer. I couldn’t believe it when I heard that witness say “the baby flew in the air”! OMG. To see that…
Oh my God, poor baby 😭
They said there is no evidence of drugs or alcohol. SHE WAS SOBER??? What on earth happened? What was she thinking about? I pray those people passed at the moment of impact.
How the f*** do you drive that fast in a place like that.
these religious clowns in the comments lol
that car that was infront of the car she hit barley made it the driver should be thankful to God my condolences to the family who lost their lives this is scary seeing her flying down the street hitting that car she need life without parole she made a horrible decision to drink and drive wile arguing with her boyfriend now lives are gone from nurse to a murder that fast
Just insane. There’s no way to drive defensively and protect yourself from something like that.
Driver held without bail. 5 counts of vehicular manslaughter and 1 count of murder for killing a fetus. She was going 90 mph at the time of impact. Known for having multiple at fault crashes on her record.
Edit: Toxicology testing showed no alcohol in her system.
This looks way faster than 60 to me
Don’t be selfish on the road.
Yeah she need to go to jail and never be seen or heard of again.
If there’s ever a maximum security mental hospital, she should be committed to such a place. What a tragedy
news is stupid. they can test her hair for drugs… that why everything you hear from nbc is a lie.
Bizarre, that’s the exact same car that was drivin Michael Hasting… is there a REAL trottle problem on Mercedes??
I thought this was a final destination trailer. Smh
Jail for life.
She lived how evil people live
This is a very tragic incident, and this woman should go to jail. I’m just wondering why every new station covering this story, the first thing they say is a pregnant woman and a child, why put so much emphasis on that?
Kamikaze
I bet you someone slipped something in her drink. She went flying home & next thing you know, pedal to the metal
They better sentence that ignorant degenerate to life maybe death too… good riddance
Que atrapen al CRIMINAL que cometió ése accidente! 😡🤬😡😡
I have zero sympathy for people like this. They should give her the worst punishment imaginable. Truly a terrible situation
They should be able to do a toxicology test to see if alcohol is involved regardless of what they gave her. 🙄
Why is the female reporter smirking?
After watching this, I drove differently. At times, I thought about the woman behind the wheel and what mind state she must have been in to do such a thing. Then I approached an intersection, the light turned red and I thought to myself, she wanted to pass over. Even if she was under the influence, she may not have been going as fast. Alcohol is a sedative, not a stimulant. I think she came to a breaking point where she couldn’t take any more disappointment. She gave up on herself and life.
I would be (vh)ucked up for life. It would be hard to have the desire to even have the strength to want to live. I am a nurse that worked ED for 15 years. I see those accidents and to think I caused that kind of carnage I could not cope. I hope the families and loved ones surround those ppl with love and support.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
bro why’d they give her pain meds ☹
How are they accounting for a fetus .
A black woman where is blm now
Smoking Crack n drinking Hennessy
this dude said 60-.- bro she was going 75-12000
Not the baby 😭😭😭😭😭
Holy sh
50 or 60 minimum?? For how violently those cars where thrown. Your minimum is about 120 easily
Give her the Chinese torture treatment
It’s California, what’s the worse punishment she can get? Counseling? If this happened down south you’d be looking at the death penalty.
Mental Health Needed
I thought it was a missile
#1, this woman, this self consumed murderer, was drunk. Jesus Lord, she sent a baby into the air.. I just feel so sick! Drunk drivers usually always survive. I’m grateful to God, and the fellowship of AA for my sobriety of 13 years. No excuses!!
I hope they never let her on the streets again, I feel for the victims and their families. This is heartbreaking.
I have a feeling she was either texting or playing with the radio since no attempt was made to slow down, stop, or honk even! I heard another show say she was driving 90mph! May the deceased rest in peace. 🙏
One more thing this is why you should tell your family you love them even if you never have before! Because you never know which day is the last day and you don’t want to regret never saying it. 💯
That driver has a history of crashes including 13 in which she totaled 2 other cars of hers.
She’s been charged with murder and vehicular manslaughter where hopefully she’ll spend the rest of her pathetic worthless life rotting behind bars where she belongs.
