Brooklyn Driver Gets 3 to 9 Years in Plea for Crash That Killed Mother, Two Daughters

The plea follows evidence that she ran a red light at 68 mph, driving on a suspended license with a heavy violations record.

Overview

  • Miriam Yarimi pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the March 29 Ocean Parkway collision and will serve a 3- to 9-year term under the deal.
  • Investigators said black box data showed she was traveling about 68 mph with the accelerator fully depressed and never braked before the crash.
  • Her Audi ran a red light, struck an Uber-operated Camry, flipped, and hit the Saada family as they began to cross the street.
  • The crash killed Natasha Saada and her daughters, Diana, 8, and Deborah, 5, while a 4-year-old son was critically injured.
  • Prosecutors sought a 5- to 15-year sentence, but the court accepted a lower range as part of the negotiated plea.
