Driver Kills Family in Brooklyn Horror Crash
A driver kills family in Brooklyn during a terrifying wreck that left three dead and one critically injured. Miriam Yarimi, 35, told EMTs she was “possessed” and had “the devil in me” moments after fatally striking a mother and her two daughters on Saturday.
Victims Included a Young Mother and Her Daughters
The tragedy claimed the lives of Natasha Saada, 32, and her daughters Diana, 7, and Deborah, 5. Her 4-year-old son, Philip, was also critically injured. The family had just left Shabbat services when Yarimi’s Audi jumped the curb in Gravesend and mowed them down.
Psych Evaluation Ordered for Driver Who Killed Family
Yarimi, who had a suspended license, is undergoing a psychiatric evaluation at Bellevue Hospital’s prison ward. Sources said she had recently made paranoid claims about being pursued by the CIA. Officials say she’s facing multiple manslaughter charges.
Dashcam Footage Shows Moment Driver Kills Family
Video footage shows the overturned Audi crashing into the family after hitting an Uber. The car violently veered onto the sidewalk, striking the victims. The impact was so severe it caused multiple injuries to bystanders and left the community in shock.
Suspended License and Shocking Driving Record
The driver who killed the family had an alarming driving history. Her Audi — identified by the plate “WIGM8KER” — had racked up more than 93 traffic violations, including 20 speeding tickets and five red-light infractions. One of those tickets was issued just days before the deadly crash.
Community Mourns as Family Prepares for Burial
A funeral was held Sunday for the victims. Saada’s father is flying with the bodies to Israel for burial, while her husband remains in New York with their baby and injured son. Beds were removed from the family home to accommodate mourners during shiva.
Wigmaker Behind the Wheel Remains Silent
Yarimi refused to speak to investigators, asking only for a lawyer. Her history includes a $2 million payout from a lawsuit against the NYPD. She has also flaunted a lavish lifestyle on social media, including vacations, luxury cars, and her wig business.
Grief and Outrage Over Driver Who Killed Family
Outrage continues to grow over how someone with a suspended license and dozens of violations was still on the road. Community members and local officials are demanding accountability as the investigation into the crash that killed the Saada family continues.
