A wrongful death lawsuit is being brought on behalf of 7-year-old twin girls whose parents were killed in a crash caused by street racing.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - A 25-year-old man was convicted for his role in a Redwood City street racing crash that killed a couple, who were parents of twin daughters.

Kyle Harrison entered the plea to two counts of vehicular manslaughter stemming from a November 2022 crash that claimed the lives of Greg Ammen and Grace Spiridon, the San Mateo County District Attorney's office said.

Harrison is scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 2.
