In a tragic incident in Midwood, Brooklyn, Miriam Yarimi faces serious charges, including manslaughter, following a fatal crash that killed Natasha Saada and her two daughters. During a virtual arraignment, Yarimi, who is currently hospitalized, did not plead, with the judge stating that her psychiatric evaluation must be completed before proceeding to a grand jury. Despite her lawyer's claims of her innocence, Yarimi's past of having a suspended license and numerous traffic violations has prompted calls for action in Albany to enhance vehicle safety regulations for repeat offenders.
The driver in last weekend's fatal Brooklyn crash that killed a mother and her two daughters was hospitalized and faces multiple charges, including manslaughter.
Miriam Yarimi, the driver, is undergoing psychiatric evaluation and did not enter a plea during her virtual arraignment; she remains in custody without bail.
Prosecutors revealed Yarimi's troubling statements while in custody, including claims of having "the devil in my eye" and denying involvement in the fatal crash.
The incident has prompted renewed legislative discussions in Albany for speed-limiting devices to be mandated for vehicles of repeat offenders.
