Nancy Iskander testified in a civil wrongful death trial seeking $100 million against Rebecca Grossman, Scott Erickson, and their insurance companies. She described crossing a road with her three sons when she had to grab her youngest son and dive to avoid a black Mercedes SUV driven by Erickson. She said her two older sons disappeared after a white speeding Mercedes plowed through the crosswalk. The children were Mark, 11, and Jacob, 8, killed on Sept. 29, 2020, near a private lake in Westlake Village. Grossman was convicted in 2024 of murder, with experts saying she drove up to 81 mph and traveled a quarter of a mile after striking the children before her car shut down.
"“I was crossing the road. I was not crossing the racetrack,” Nancy Iskander testified Tuesday in the civil wrongful death trial against her son's convicted killer, Rebecca Grossman, and former Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson. The lawsuit seeks $100 million from Grossman, Erickson and their insurance companies."
"Iskander told jurors that she was crossing a road with her three sons when she was forced to grab her youngest son and dive to avoid being hit by a black Mercedes SUV. But then, she said, she saw her two older sons disappear as a white speeding Mercedes plowed through the crosswalk."
"In 2024, Grossman was convicted of murder during a trial where experts said she was driving up to 81 mph and traveled a quarter of a mile after slamming into the children before her car shut down. She is currently serving a sentence of 15 years to life."
"Iskander recalled the horror of losing her sons Mark,11, and Jacob, 8, on Sept. 29, 2020, as they were walking near a private lake and two Mercedes SUVs came speeding down the street. Iskander said she saw a black sport utility vehicle “roaring” toward the Westlake Village intersection where she and her three sons were crossing."
