Original: Former Nurse Convicted of Murder in Crash at 130 M.P.H. That Killed Six https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/us/woman-murd
A former nurse has been convicted of murder for a crash in which her car struck and killed six people while traveling at 130 miles per hour, in a case reported by The New York Times and tied to Los Angeles. The murder charge, rather than vehicular manslaughter, reflects prosecutors' view that her driving showed conscious disregard for life, a point likely drawing wide public debate.
Why now: The unusual murder conviction for a traffic death has drawn attention to how courts treat extreme reckless driving.
