Driver Arraigned for Brooklyn Crash That Killed Mother and Two Daughters

Miriam Yarimi, accused of manslaughter, remains in custody without bail as investigations highlight her history of violations and mental health concerns.

Miriam Yarimi, 35, was arraigned on manslaughter charges from her hospital bed after a fatal crash on March 29 in Brooklyn killed Natasha Saada and her two daughters, Diana and Debra.
Yarimi was driving on a suspended license with over $10,000 in unpaid traffic fines and nearly 100 violations at the time of the crash.
The crash critically injured 4-year-old Philip Saada, who remains hospitalized after losing a kidney, and also injured an Uber driver and passengers.
Yarimi made bizarre claims to police, including being 'possessed' and 'haunted,' raising questions about her mental health and fitness to drive.
The Saada family victims were laid to rest in Israel, while the tragedy has prompted calls for systemic reforms in traffic enforcement and public safety.
