A former MLB pitcher has been charged with reckless driving after detectives linked him to a tragic hit-&-run crash that claimed the young lives of two brothers last September.
Scott Erickson, who played for six teams, was allegedly racing against the main suspect in the case, Rebecca Grossman, before she fatally struck Mark and Jacob Iskander, ages 11 and 8, as they walked in a marked crosswalk with their parents and their two other siblings.
The older boy died on the scene while Jacob passed away shortly later at a nearby hospital. Grossman continued driving and didn’t stop to help the injured.
The woman is the wife of a burn center founder. She was charged with murder and vehicular manslaughter.
Erickson, 52, is due back in court on March 16 on misdemeanor reckless driving charges.
