A Los Angeles jury awarded $176 million to the parents of two young brothers killed in a hit-and-run collision involving Rebecca Grossman's car in 2020. The jury found Grossman and former Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson negligent in the deaths of 11-year-old Mark Iskander and 8-year-old Jacob Iskander, with punitive damages still pending. The crash occurred in Westlake Village after both individuals were speeding, with Grossman's attorney claiming she was distracted by the boys' mother avoiding Erickson's vehicle.
