Brooklyn Driver Charged with Manslaughter After Fatal Crash Kills Mother and Two Daughters

Miriam Yarimi faces multiple charges as investigations continue into the crash that critically injured a 4-year-old boy and devastated a close-knit community.

Miriam Yarimi, 32, was charged with manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, and other offenses following the deadly crash in Midwood, Brooklyn, on March 29, 2025.
The incident claimed the lives of a 35-year-old mother and her two daughters, aged 6 and 8, while critically injuring her 4-year-old son, who remains hospitalized.
The crash occurred after Yarimi's Audi, driven on a suspended license, rear-ended a Toyota Camry and veered into a crosswalk, striking the family returning from synagogue.
Authorities are investigating whether speed, running a red light, or intoxication contributed to the crash, with preliminary tests conducted at the scene.
The tragedy has left the Orthodox Jewish community in mourning, with Mayor Eric Adams describing the incident as a 'tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.'
