A vast list of charges, including manslaughter, have been brought against the motorist who was apprehended after a terrible incident on Brooklyn’s Ocean Parkway.
Miriam Yarimi, 32, was speeding and driving with a suspended license when she smacked the rear bumper of another car at a Midwood crosswalk, killing a mother and her kids, according to New York City police.
At the hospital, Natasha Saada, 34, and her daughters, Deborah, 5, and Diana, 8, were declared deceased. Philip, her 4-year-old son, is still in serious condition at the hospital.
A Brooklyn driver is accused of killing a woman and two children.
Following the collision on Saturday afternoon on Ocean Parkway by Quentin Avenue, Yarimi had to be pulled from her blue 2023 Audi A3 by the FDNY. Her condition was stable when she was brought to the hospital.
According to NYPD, all five occupants of the 2023 Toyota Camry that was first hit—the 63-year-old driver, a 35-year-old woman, and three children aged 4 to 12—were treated for minor wounds.
“I’m going to be honest. An individual who shouldn’t have been driving was responsible for this terrible catastrophe. One boy fighting for his life, a mother and two small children… murdered. At a press briefing at the scene, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch stated, “A family and a neighbourhood devastated in an instant.” “The NYPD offers its sympathies to the victims’ family. I hope their memories bring them blessings.
Yarimi was accused on Sunday of reckless driving, failing to yield, speeding, operating a motor vehicle without a licence, three counts of second-degree manslaughter, three counts of criminally negligent murder and four counts of second-degree assault, according to police.
It is anticipated that Yarimi would be arraigned as early as Monday.
Assemblyman Michael Novakhov stated, “It’s unbelievable to learn that someone with 93 violations and $10,000 in unpaid fines did it.”
Yarimi’s licence suspension was not immediately explained by the police.
Families for Safe Streets is presently advocating for a bill in Albany that would equip repeat offenders’ cars with a speed limiter in an effort to help stop similar tragedies in the future.
Dahlia Goldenberg of Families for Safe Streets stated, “Drivers like her who are super-speeders, who speed like this and put our families in danger.”
“They were wonderful individuals. You were able to observe it.
At his home in Midwood, which is only a few minutes from the scene of his family’s murder, devastated husband and father Sidney Saada received a display of support.
According to Meyer Weill of Misaskim, a Jewish organisation that supports bereaved families, the father seemed resilient throughout this period of profound sorrow. According to Weill, the community is assisting him in organising his house so that during the upcoming seven days of Shiva, or mourning, people can visit and provide him support.
“Families and friends are providing him with excellent support inside, and he is surviving. “Thousands” of people are anticipated to come and pay their respects, Weill added, adding that this is the quiet time. “People that may not even know him are gonna come just because of the tragedy.”
Across the street from the Saada family, a neighbour who wished to remain anonymous told CBS News New York, “The kids would always say hi to strangers.” She raised them like way; she is a wonderful lady.
He claimed to have grandchildren who are roughly the same age as the two little girls that were murdered, and he would frequently see the mother dropping them off at the bus stop.
“They were wonderful individuals. It was visible to you,” he added.
It’s very regrettable. lovely individuals. Good individuals. “Charitable people,” Jojo Robi, a family friend, remarked.
It is anticipated that the mother and her two girls would be buried in Israel as early as Monday.
