Rebecca Grossman case: Hearing continues for socialite accused in Westlake Village hit-and-run that killed 2 young boys
VAN NUYS, Calif. -- A preliminary hearing is scheduled to continue Thursday for a wealthy socialite accused of running over and killing two young boys at a Westlake Village intersection and then driving away from the scene.
Rebecca Grossman faces several charges, including murder and vehicular manslaughter, in connection with the Sept. 29, 2020, crash. Investigators say her Mercedes-Benz SUV fatally struck 11-year-old Mark Iskander and his 8-year-old brother Jacob in a crosswalk while they were walking with their family.
According to prosecutors, Grossman and former Major League Baseball pitcher Scott Erickson - who was driving a separate vehicle - were street racing at the time of the collision. On Wednesday in court, a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy confirmed that Grossman was driving almost 72 miles per hour at the moment of impact.
