Overview
- Miriam Yarimi, 33, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and is set to receive a 3–9 year term from Judge Danny Chen, below the up to 15 years sought by Brooklyn prosecutors.
- The March 29 crash at Ocean Parkway and Quentin Road killed Natasha Saada, 34, and her daughters Diana, 8, and Deborah, 5, and critically injured 4-year-old Philip.
- Investigators say the car’s data recorder showed roughly 68 mph in a lower-speed zone with the accelerator floored and no braking before Yarimi ran a red light.
- Authorities report Yarimi was driving on a suspended license after accumulating more than 90 violations and over $10,000 in fines, including numerous speed-camera and red-light tickets.
- The case has spurred renewed calls for a revived 'super speeder' law requiring repeat offenders to install speed-limiting devices, a measure that passed the State Senate but stalled in the Assembly.
