Mother and two young daughters killed in Brooklyn traffic accident to be buried in Israel

The bodies of a mother and her two young daughters who were run over by a car in Brooklyn are being flown to Israel for burial.

The three will be laid to rest in Jerusalem’s Har HaMenuchot.

They have been named as Natasha Saada, 35, and her daughters Diana, 7, and Debra, 5.

The collision took place at around 1 p.m. on Saturday, during Shabbat, on Ocean Parkway in the Midwood neighborhood of south Brooklyn, an area with a large Jewish population. Police said that a silver Toyota Camry was attempting to make a turn when it was hit in the rear bumper by an Audi sedan. The Camry was pushed aside and the Audi jetted forward, hitting four pedestrians.

The driver of the Audi was Miriam Yarimi, 32. She was driving despite her license having been suspended, and according to the New York Post, she had accumulated 93 traffic violations.

Yarimi had to be extricated from her vehicle by the fire department and was hospitalized in stable condition. Five passengers in the Camry suffered minor injuries, police said.

Yarimi has been charged with crimes including three counts of manslaughter, three counts of criminally negligent homicide, assault, reckless driving and other traffic violations.
