Attorneys for Mercedes driver accused of killing 5 deny she has history of crashes

"It's been reported extensively and it's not true," said Halim Dhanidina, who represents Nicole Lorraine Linton, a travel nurse who was working at Kaiser Permanente's West Los Angeles Medical Center before the Aug. 4 crash.

"Our initial investigation has demonstrated that that allegation that's been bandied about in the media is patently false," Dhanidina said about Los Angeles County prosecutors' claim that Linton was involved in 13 other crashes before the Windsor Hills one.
