PALM BAY, Fla. - The family of the two women killed in a crash in Palm Bay is looking for answers while mourning the loss of their loved ones.
Noemi Hammen, 61, and Maria Ramirez, 58, were killed in a crash Saturday night in Palm Bay near Babcock Street and Palm Bay Road. The family says the two sisters were driving to get groceries at the time when they were hit.
