Two brothers, Damian and Chris Amaya-Pineda, were victims of a hit-and-run that took place when the family was traveling to their grandmother’s house.

Apart from the two brothers who died, their mother Debbie (35), and sister Jade (16) were also in the car during the crash. The family was traveling in an SUV when a Mercedes ran a red light and crashed into it. The Mercedes driver did not stop and fled the scene after the crash.
