The city of San Diego has agreed to pay $6.125 million to the family of a mother and daughter killed in a 2018 wrong-way freeway crash.
The settlement stems from a lawsuit filed by the family of Aileen Pizarro, 43, and Aryana Pizarro, 12, whose SUV was struck head-on by a car driven by Trevor Heitmann, a YouTube star known by his online moniker "McSkillet."

The settlement, which the San Diego City Council will vote on for final approval next week, would include $4.25 million to Miguel Angel Pizarro et al. (Miguel is Aileen's father), and $1.875 million to her son, Angelo Pizarro.
In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs alleged police were aware Heitmann was undergoing a mental health crisis after a psychiatrist reported concerns to law enforcement that Heitmann was a danger to himself and others.
Officers responded to Heitmann's family's Carmel Valley home shortly before the crash, but did not evaluate Heitmann or speak with him, according to the lawsuit.
