British mother and her daughters, eight and five, are killed in New York car crash after Audi 'driven by glam wigmaker' ploughed into family as they walked along busy street 

Tributes have been given to a well-liked British woman and her two young daughters who tragically lost their lives after a car struck them while they were crossing the street in New York on a Saturday afternoon.

The victims were Natasha Saada, 34, who was raised in Mill Hill, north London, and her two daughters, Diana, aged eight, and Deborah, aged five. They were part of the Orthodox Jewish community in the city and were hit while returning home from the synagogue, around 1 pm in Brooklyn.

All three were pronounced dead at the scene, while the family’s four-year-old son was also critically injured in the crash. 

The driver responsible for the accident was Miriam Yarimi, a 32-year-old woman who operates a business making wigs. She was allegedly driving an Audi sedan that collided with a Toyota Camry Uber vehicle before crashing into the family, causing the Audi to overturn in a devastating incident on Ocean Parkway in Midwood.

The NYPD told DailyMail.com on Sunday that Yarimi, of Midwood, has now been hit with a slew of charges including three counts of manslaughter in the second degree.

Yarimi, who was allegedly driving with a suspended license, is additionally accused of three counts of criminally negligent homicide, four counts of assault in the second degree, reckless driving and speeding, the department said. 

The three were buried on Monday night in Jerusalem, Israel.

Rabbi Yitzchak Schochet of Mill Hill Synagogue, north London, travelled to the funeral and supported Mrs Saada’s grieving parents, who are among his congregants, as well as her husband, Sidney.

He told Jewish News: ‘The whole community is grief-stricken. Natasha grew up in Mill Hill and is fondly remembered by many. 

‘They are a beautiful family and we are all mourning along with them.’

Devastating images from the scene showed Yarimi’s Audi completely upturned in the middle of the road. 

Yarimi had to be removed from the vehicle by firefighters and was reportedly in a stable condition following the smash. 

According to online records, the Audi had accrued over 93 traffic violations, which included 20 speeding tickets and over $10,000 in fines. 

The violations include tickets for speeding through a school zone, failing to stop at a red light, and parking over a fire hydrant. 

Speaking at the crash site, Mayor Eric Adams described the crash as ‘a tragic accident of Shakesperean proportions’ and added: ‘A mother going for a simple stroll on a sunny day was struck and killed. The city mourns with this community.’

One man who lives nearby told The Daily News that the noise of the crash sounded like an ‘earthquake’. 

He said: ‘I quickly ran, called 911, reported it in there. There was emergency Hatzalah [ambulance] there on the scene within two minutes of that phone call, they came in there. 

‘They performed CPR on the lady. There was another kid right next to that…and they did CPR on them. 

‘There was a little boy did the CPR, and hopefully they got a pulse on him. Just really ugly scene.’

The NYPD said Yarimi’s charges also include failure to yield right at a red light, and driving over the speed limit. 

The Uber driver involved was also taken to the Kings County Hospital in a stable condition for treatment, along with their three passengers – two children and an adult.

A police investigation into the crash is ongoing.
