Brothers Identified as Boys Killed in Westlake Village Crash

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA (October 2, 2020) – Jacob and Mark Iskander were identified as the two young boys who were killed in Westlake Village when they were struck by a driver suspected of DUI and speeding. The September 29 crash occurred where Saddle Mountain Drive and Triunfo Canyon Road intersect.

The time was roughly 7:10 p.m., according to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.

The two boys had been walking with their family, which included six people, inside a crosswalk that is marked, when a vehicle drove into the intersection at a fast speed, according to reports. Reports say the boys’ mother pushed one child who was in a stroller out of the way, and another child, but she could not reach the two boys in time.

The vehicle struck Jacob, 8 years old; and Mark, 11 years old.

Responders arrived and found one of the boys had died at the crash site. Responders transported the other boy to a hospital, where he later died.

Jacob had been a student at Ascension Lutheran School located in Thousand Oaks, and Mark had been a student at Oaks Christian School in Westlake Village.

The driver involved in the crash was identified as Rebecca Grossman, 57 years old. She was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and DUI, according to Salvador Becerra. Becerra is a captain with the Sheriff’s Department. Grossman is a co-founder and chair of the Grossman Burn Foundation at West Hills Hospital, reports say.

Investigators are continuing their work to gather details regarding the crash. If anyone has information about the incident, the person can contact the Sheriff’s Station at Malibu/Lost Hills. The number is 818-878-1808.
