A New York City wigmaker has been charged with manslaughter and criminal negligent homicide after she allegedly killed a mother and her two daughters, and left a 4-year-old in critical condition in a horror crash in Brooklyn on Saturday.
Miriam Yarimi, 32, faces three counts of second-degree manslaughter, three counts of criminally negligent homicide and four counts of second-degree assault for smashing into a group of pedestrians Saturday afternoon on Ocean Parkway in Gravesend, police told The Post on Sunday.
She also faces charges of reckless driving, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, failing to yield on a red, speed not reasonable and prudent, and speed over speed limit, police said.
Yarimi was driving her Audi on a suspended license when she got into a collision with Toyota Camry, and careened into and killed the mother and two children who were leaving Shabbat services, according to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
The 32-year-old mom of one, who goes by the name “Ellie,” is a wigmaker by profession, something noted by the vanity plate of the Audi in the crash, which reads “WIGM8KER.”
Her photo shows her proudly showing off the fatal car.
She also previously settled a lawsuit against the NYPD for $2 million after she alleged she was sexually assaulted by an officer when she was 14.
