The pregnant victim of a fiery Los Angeles that left six people dead and eight others injured on Thursday has been identified.
The woman, 23-year-old Asherey Ryan, was killed along with her 11-month-old son Alonzo and her unborn baby. KTLA reports that Ryan, who was six months pregnant, was on her way to a pregnancy checkup.
The unborn baby, which Ryan planned to name Armani, did not survive the accident.
“It’s hard to believe I’m never going to see them again,” Ryan’s sister, Cotie Davis, told reporters. “I can’t even imagine staring over her casket. This has definitely taken a huge chunk of me.”
Nicole Linton, 37, has been arrested in connection with the deadly car crash. She is facing charges of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence. California Highway Patrol told the outlet that Linton is cooperating. Formal charges are expected next week.
Linton was taken to an area hospital following the crash, where she remains with unspecified injuries.
Linton was driving a gray Mercedes-Benz at a high rate of speed when she ran a red light in the Windsor Hills neighborhood. She crashed into at least six vehicles, causing three of them to burst into flames. Several people were ejected from their cars.
The eight people that were injured were taken to local hospitals. The victims included two adults and six teenagers.
