The singing group Cimorelli announced dates Friday for two concerts that will benefit the family of a tow truck driver who was killed in a hit-and-run crash.
Katherine Cimorelli, the second oldest of the six sisters in the group, was on the side of Pacific Coast Highway when the tow truck driver, Ronald Carver, 45, of Newbury Park, was struck and killed by a silver Audi, whose driver kept going.
Jill Rose, 44, of Santa Monica is accused of driving under the influence in the Feb. 11 hit and run crash.
The first concert is set for Friday, April 12 at Lighthouse Church, 3353 Old Conejo Road in Newbury Park.
The second concert is set for Sunday, May 5 at Malibu Bluffs Park.

It was the Cimorelli girls, who were attending a neighbor's barbeque next door. They had starting singing, and it was entrancing. Magical. Their devotion to Ronald Carver's widow and babies is touching and absolutely in character with their gifts of song and spirit. I hope Malibu remembers the Carvers, and their terrible loss.
