Brooklyn Mother and Two Daughters Killed by Driver with Suspended License

A 32-year-old driver struck a family in a crosswalk, killing three and critically injuring a young boy, as authorities investigate potential speeding, intoxication, or traffic violations.

The crash occurred Saturday afternoon in Brooklyn's Midwood neighborhood when an Audi struck a mother and her three children in a crosswalk, killing the mother and her two daughters, ages 6 and 8.
The family's 4-year-old son was critically injured and remains hospitalized, while the driver, Miriam Yarimi, is in stable condition after being extricated from her overturned car.
Yarimi, 32, was driving with a suspended license and had rear-ended a rideshare vehicle carrying another family before the fatal collision.
Authorities are investigating whether Yarimi was speeding, ran a red light, or was intoxicated at the time of the crash, with preliminary tests underway.
The incident has devastated the close-knit Midwood community, with Mayor Eric Adams calling it a 'tragedy of Shakespearean proportion' and emphasizing the need for accountability and road safety improvements.
