On August 4, 2022, a tragic incident occurred at the Windsor Hills intersection in Los Angeles, California. A Mercedes-Benz, driven by Nicole Lorraine Linton, ran a red light at an estimated speed of 130 mph, resulting in a catastrophic collision involving nine vehicles. The crash led to the deaths of six individuals, collectively referred to as 'The Slauson 6'.
The victims included Asherey Ryan, her unborn child Armani Lester, her 11-month-old son Alonzo Quintero, and her boyfriend Reynold Lester. Additionally, Nathesia Lewis and Lynette Noble lost their lives in the incident. Surveillance footage captured the severity of the crash, and California Highway Patrol Investigator Hector Castaneda reported that the vehicle carrying Ryan and her family was split in half due to the impact.
