Fatal Redwood City Crash Victims Survived By 7-Year-Old Twin Girls

REDWOOD CITY, CA – The victims of Friday night’s fatal Peninsula crash are survived by 7-year-old twin daughters, and the San Carlos community is rallying in their support.

A GoFundMe established to benefit the children of 44-year-old Gregory Ammen and his wife Grace Spiridon, 42 (both of San Carlos) has raised close to $285,000 since its launch earlier this week.

The “Support for Madison & Olivia” GoFundMe aims to raise $400,000 for the children.

“The world lost two beautiful souls, and leaves two amazing girls without parents,” the GoFundMe says.

“It is with great sorrow and heavy hearts that we begin to mourn the loss of Grace & Greg Ammen.”

The collision that killed the San Carlos parents occurred just before 8 p.m. Friday in the area of El Camino Real and Finger Avenue, Redwood City police said.

Responding officers located two vehicles on the west sidewalk of El Camino Real with major damage and one vehicle on fire.

Officers utilized fire extinguishers from their patrol vehicles to put out the fire.

A 17-year-old juvenile driver and two passengers were located inside this vehicle. All three were transported to the hospital with injuries that were not considered life threatening.

The twin girls were in the car at the time of the crash, KRON reports.

“She was my best friend and I feel I’ve lost a part of me,” said Grace’s sister Liza Spiridon, who organized the GoFundMe, according to the report.

Grace Spiridon was a recently-promoted Google employee who had a double MBA from UC Berkeley and Columbia, her sister told the television station.

“We would like to honor them by setting up resources for the care of their wonderful 7-year-old girls, Madison and Olivia,” the GoFundMe said.

“Grace and Greg were outstanding people and lights of love, support and inspiration to countless friends, family, co-workers and their community.

“Nothing mattered more to them than Madison and Olivia. The girls, sadly, will need a lifetime of support and love from Grace & Greg's community. These funds will be used towards their immediate and future care.”
