Worried about the solar eclipse, an astrology influencer from the US stabbed her husband to death, pushed her two children out of her moving car before fatally crashing into a tree in Los Angeles. Danielle Johnson, known to her 1 lakh X followers as Danielle Ayoka, was found dead in her car early on Monday.

Johnson's online persona as an astrology influencer, peddling spiritual advice and cleansing rituals, went a bit too far after she had ominous warnings about the impending solar eclipse. Investigators believe that unfounded fears about the eclipse may be the motive behind her drastic steps.

“Wake up wake up the apocalypse is here. Everyone who has ears listen. Your time to choose what you believe is now. If you believe a new world is possible for the people rt now. There is power in choice. There is power in choice!!!! Repost to make the choice for the collective,” Johnson’s last and pinned tweet reads – all in capitals.

The aftermath of the confrontation revealed a scene of horror. Witnesses described a grisly sight, with bloodstains marking a trail from the couple's apartment. Johnson's attempt to remove Chaney's body from the scene was evident, yet futile, as she ultimately retreated back into the apartment.

Her actions took a turn for the inexplicable as she embarked on a frenzied drive down in a Porsche Cayenne the major 405 freeway with her two children in tow, aged nine and just eight months. She then pushed both children out of the moving vehicle onto the busy highway.

Her older daughter, holding her infant sister when thrown out, was struck by a passing vehicle. The older daughter sustained injuries while the infant died. Johnson’s body was so disfigured that it was difficult to identify her, reports said.

The surviving child has been placed under the care of LA's Department of Children and Family Services.

Only a partial eclipse was visible in Los Angeles.
