Mark Iskander, 11, and 8-year-old Jacob Iskander were crossing the street in a marked crosswalk with their parents when they were struck. Sheriff s officials said six family members were crossing the three-way intersection which does not have a stoplight when the mother heard a car speeding toward them and both parents reached out to protect two of their children.
The two boys were too far out in the intersection and were struck, the sheriff s department said. The older boy died at the scene and his 8-year-old sibling died at a hospital.
Grossman is accused of leaving the scene before she stopped about one-quarter mile from the site of the crash when her engine cut out, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
