Plea Deal Sets 3 to 9 Years for Ocean Parkway Crash That Killed Mom, 2 Daughters

Prosecutors are preparing a letter urging a longer term after previously seeking five to 15 years.

Overview

  • Miriam Yarimi pleaded guilty to manslaughter and accepted a deal offering a three- to nine-year prison term.
  • Formal sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
  • Prosecutors say black-box data showed roughly 68 mph with no braking before she ran a red light, hit an Uber, and then struck the Saada family.
  • Yarimi was driving with a suspended license in a car linked to numerous speeding and red-light violations and carrying the vanity plate “WIGM8KER.”
  • Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said the proposed sentence falls short of the harsher five- to 15-year term his office sought.
