Miriam Yarimi, a 32-year-old woman from Brooklyn, is facing serious charges including manslaughter and reckless driving for a tragic crash that occurred in Midwood. She reportedly sped through a red light, crashing into a mother and her three children as they were crossing the street, resulting in the deaths of the two daughters, aged 5 and 8, while their 4-year-old brother remains hospitalized. Eyewitness accounts describe the horrific scene, highlighting the need for legislative change to prevent such tragedies in the future, as Transportation Alternatives demands speed limiters for repeat offenders.
They were kids and there was one of them was face down and one facing up. They crowded around them, they tried to give CPR to one of them.
I will call it like it is, this was a horrific tragedy caused by someone who shouldn't have been on the road.
Investigators said Yarimi was behind the wheel of the blue Audi sedan that barreled through the Midwood intersection and struck 34-year-old Natasha Saada and her three kids.
Transportation Alternatives released a statement condemning the Audi driver's record and urging action by New York lawmakers to pass legislation in Albany that would install speed limiters on vehicles.
