A driver faces manslaughter charges after allegedly speeding through a red light and fatally striking a 32-year-old mother and her two daughters on Ocean Parkway. The horrific crash occurred Shabbos around 1 p.m. when 35 year old Miriam Yarimi, driving a 2023 Audi A3 with a suspended license and no insurance, is believed to have been traveling at 50 mph in a 25-mph zone, according to police sources. Investigators are reviewing traffic cameras, a bystander’s dashcam, and the Audi’s “black box” data to confirm Yarimi’s exact speed and whether she attempted to brake before the collision. Skid marks at the scene are also under forensic analysis. Police say alcohol or drugs were not factors, though Yarimi’s license had been suspended due to an insurance lapse. Yarimi, who suffered minor injuries, was initially treated at NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn before being transferred to Bellevue Hospital’s psychiatric ward, where she remains under evaluation. Her arraignment on charges including manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, assault, reckless driving, and speeding is pending in Brooklyn Criminal Court. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
