Westlake VillageJury finds Grossman, Erickson liable for $176 million in boys’ tragedy
A Ventura County jury has ordered Rebecca Grossman and Scott Erickson to pay $176 million in a civil case connected to the 2020 Westlake Village crash that killed brothers Mark and Jacob Iskander. Grossman is already serving a life sentence for murder in the tragedy, while Erickson—a former Dodgers pitcher—was also found liable. The verdict, reported by The Acorn, brings a measure of accountability beyond the criminal courts for a crash that devastated our community and left two young lives cut short. For Westlake Village families, this case has been a painful reminder of the fragility of life on our roads. The Iskander family’s years-long fight for justice underscores how deeply this loss has resonated across the 805 region. While no amount can undo the tragedy, this civil judgment sends a clear message about responsibility and the lasting impact of reckless actions in our neighborhoods.
Westlake VillageWestlake Village role in Grossman tragedy questioned on the stand
It’s hard to read the latest from *The Acorn* without feeling that familiar knot in your stomach. This week’s testimony in the civil suit brought by the Iskander family revisits that awful September 2020 night on Triunfo Canyon Road, where Rebecca Grossman’s SUV struck and killed young brothers Mark and Jacob. But what caught my ear was the defense’s new argument: that the crosswalk itself—our crosswalk—shared some of the blame. As a neighbor, it’s a tough pill to swallow. We all know that stretch of road near the Westlake Village Inn; it’s where we walk our dogs and push strollers. While nothing excuses the speed alleged in the criminal case, this testimony forces us to ask a quieter, harder question: Are our local streets as safe as we assume? The trial isn’t just about one driver’s choices—it’s a sobering reminder that we all share responsibility for the safety of our kids, whether behind the wheel or in the crosswalk.
Westlake VillageDuplicitous Erickson weighs in at trial
It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly six years since that terrible September evening on Triunfo Canyon Road, when two young brothers were struck and killed in a crosswalk. For those of us in Westlake Village, the pain has never fully faded. According to The Acorn (Westlake Village), former Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson finally broke his public silence this week in the civil trial tied to that crash—and his testimony left a lot of us shaking our heads. Under cross-examination, Erickson admitted he lied to police and investigators about the events leading up to the tragedy, including the allegation that he was racing with his then-girlfriend, Rebecca Grossman, moments before she hit the boys. This matters deeply to our community because it’s not just a celebrity scandal or a court case—it’s about accountability for a loss that shook our neighborhoods to the core. Many of us still drive through that crosswalk and think of Mark and Jacob, two kids whose lives ended far too soon. Erickson’s admission that he wasn’t truthful from the start feels like another layer of insult to a wound that’s still raw here. As this civil trial unfolds, it’s a sobering reminder that in a community as close-knit as ours, the truth—no matter how late it arrives—matters more than any courtroom drama.
