   LOS ANGELES (AP) — The driver suspected of causing a fiery crash   
   that killed five people, including a pregnant woman, near Los   
   Angeles was suffering from worsening mental health problems and   
   had been involuntarily committed for psychiatric treatment,   
   prosecutors said Monday while seeking to deny her pretrial   
   release.   
      
   Nicole Lorraine Linton was charged last week with six counts of   
   murder and five counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross   
   negligence in connection with the Aug. 4 crash. One murder   
   charge was filed for the pregnant woman’s unborn child.   
      
   In a filing opposing Linton’s release on bail, Los Angeles   
   County Deputy District Attorney Brittany Vannoy said some of her   
   mental health issues were shared with prosecutors by defense   
   lawyers.   
      
   “The defense has disclosed a number of prior incidents which   
   appear to be increasing in severity, ranging from the defendant   
   jumping on police cars to jumping out of apartment windows,”   
   Vannoy wrote in documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times.   
   “The defense indicates (Linton) has been subject to involuntary   
   commitments on several occasions and has hurt herself more than   
   once.”   
      
   Vannoy argued that Linton’s “extremely reckless conduct combined   
   with her mental health struggles” mean she should be held   
   without bail.   
      
   The Times said the filing did not mention any previous car   
   crashes linked to Linton, which prosecutors were said to be   
   reviewing when they filed charges in the Aug. 4 incident.   
      
   Attorneys for Linton could not immediately be reached for   
   comment on Linton’s mental health history but earlier Monday   
   denied that she has an extensive history of auto accidents.   
      
   “It’s been reported extensively and it’s not true,” Halim   
   Dhanidina, who represents Linton, told the Times.   
      
   Linton was scheduled for a bail hearing Monday, but her   
   attorneys asked a judge to postpone it for two weeks.   
      
   The 37-year-old traveling nurse from Houston, Texas could face   
   90 years to life in prison if convicted of all charges.   
      
   Prosecutors said Linton’s Mercedes-Benz was doing 90 mph (144   
   kph) when it ran a red light and smashed into cars in a crowded   
   intersection in unincorporated Windsor Hills about 10 miles (16   
   km) southwest of downtown LA. Victims were thrown from the cars   
   and several vehicles caught fire.
