A driver was charged with manslaughter in the deaths of a woman and two of her children in Brooklyn after slamming into another car and veering into a crosswalk, the police said.
The driver, Miriam Yarimi, 32, was charged on Saturday evening with second-degree manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, assault, reckless driving, speeding, failure to yield and driving with a suspended license, the police said.
The victims, Natasha Saada, 34, and her daughters, Diana, 8, and Deborah, 5, were taking a walk on Saturday afternoon when they were hit, the police said. (The police had initially said that Ms. Saada was 35.)
Ms. Saada’s 4-year-old son was injured in the crash, the police said. He was taken to Maimonides Medical Center in Borough Park, where he remained in critical condition on Sunday afternoon.
Two men and three other children were in the car that Ms. Yarimi hit; they were taken to nearby hospitals and were stable, the police said.
Ms. Yarimi was driving a blue Audi A3 sedan, the police said. Photos of the crash site showed the car overturned with the license plate “WIGM8KER.” According to NYCServ, the city’s database for unpaid tickets, a vehicle with the same license plate still has $1,345 in unpaid fines.
