Chilling footage captured the moment a teenage street racer crashed into a family, killing both parents and orphaning twin seven-year-old girls.
Greg Ammen, 44, and Grace Spiridon, 42, died on impact when the car they were traveling in was destroyed in a terrible accident in November 2022.
The duo’s twin daughters, Madison and Olivia, who were seven years old at the time, were in the back seat of the car but survived the wreckage.
Kyle Harrison, now 25 years old but 23 at the time of the crash, pleaded no contest this week to two counts of vehicular manslaughter for his role in the tragedy.
Harrison was in his BMW competing against 17-year-old minor Cesar Morales, whose Mercedes crashed into Ammen and Spiridon on El Camino Real in Redwood City, California.
This is the moment Cesar Morales crashed his Mercedes into a family of four, killing a mother and father while their seven-year-old twin daughters looked on. He was competing with Kyle Harrison, who just pleaded not guilty to vehicular manslaughter.

Morales was charged as a juvenile and will face trial in juvenile court.
At the time of the tragedy, relatives said the family of four was heading home from dinner with Madison and Olivia’s grandparents.
Meanwhile, the two street racers did not know each other, but they stopped at the same traffic light and “revved their engines” when it turned green, investigators said.
The duo were reaching speeds of 80 to 90 miles per hour when the accident occurred.
Harrison will be sentenced on December 2. He faces up to nine years in prison.
His co-accused, despite being the one who crashed into the couple, will receive a maximum sentence of six years in prison if convicted, because he was a minor at the time of the crime.
“Grace and Greg were exceptional people and lights of love, support and inspiration to countless friends, family, co-workers and their community,” a fundraiser reads.
