Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

This is a question about intestate succession in California. My wife and I have no will or other estate documents. If we die together (I'm thinking car-crash, not murder-suicide) what is the succession of our estate if:
1) We have no children
2) My parents are deceased but hers are alive
3) I have two sisters and she has two brothers.
Thank you for your help.

Under intestate succession, if there is no surviving spouse or issue (children, grandchildren, etal), parents are next in line, and then siblings.
