Car Crash

A tragic crash in Brooklyn has left a family shattered and a community in mourning after a mother and her two young daughters were killed by a driver who later claimed she was “possessed.”

Miriam Yarimi, 35, a wigmaker with a social media presence flaunting luxury and success, is facing manslaughter charges following the Saturday afternoon wreck in Gravesend. Dashcam footage captured the chilling moment her Audi, sporting the vanity plate “WIGM8KER,” struck 32-year-old Natasha Saada and her daughters, Diana, 7, and Deborah, 5, as they were crossing the street after leaving Shabbat services. Saada’s 4-year-old son, Philip, remains in critical condition.

Sources say Yarimi told first responders from Hatzolah ambulance service that she was “possessed” and “had the devil in me,” before being transported to Bellevue Hospital’s prison ward for psychiatric evaluation. She refused to speak to police, requesting a lawyer instead.

Yarimi, a mother herself, has a troubling history behind the wheel. Online records show over 93 traffic violations, including 20 speeding tickets and five red-light infractions — some in school zones. Her license had been suspended at the time of the crash.

Beyond her driving record, Yarimi’s past includes a $2 million settlement from the NYPD, stemming from a lawsuit in which she alleged she was sexually assaulted by a police officer at the age of 14. More recently, she shared posts online showing off her Audi and high-end lifestyle, describing how she “built” her dream car just a year after being broke.

After a funeral for Natasha Saada and her daughters, Diana, 7, and Deborah, 5, their bodies were flown to Israel for burial. Saada’s son, 4-year-old Philip, was also critically hurt in the crash.

This heartbreaking event has not only devastated a family, but also raised urgent questions about how a driver with such a record remained on the road. As investigations continue, a community prays for healing—and justice.
