Influencer sentenced to 3 to 9 years for fatal high-speed crash that killed Brooklyn mother and her two children.

Wig-making social media influencer Miriam Yarimi has accepted a plea deal, resulting in a prison sentence of three to nine years for a tragic incident in which she struck and killed a mother and her two young daughters in Brooklyn. The plea agreement follows Yarimi’s guilty plea to charges of manslaughter stemming from the fatal collision that occurred on March 29, 2025.

At 33 years old, Yarimi was operating her Audi A3 with a suspended license when she collided with Natasha Saada, 35, and her children, ages five and eight, while their four-year-old son sustained critical injuries. The crash has drawn public attention and sparked comments from law enforcement regarding the grave effects of reckless driving.

While prosecutors sought a harsher punishment of five to 15 years, Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Danny Chun approved a lesser sentence. The final ruling is scheduled for a hearing later this week.

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez stated that the crash exemplified the devastating consequences of reckless driving. Although the sentence offered by the judge did not meet the maximum sought by prosecutors, it serves to emphasize that such dangerous behavior will be subject to significant legal repercussions.

The circumstances surrounding the incident reveal a troubling history of traffic violations associated with Yarimi’s vehicle, which included nearly ,000 in fines spanning 21 speed-camera tickets and five red-light violations. On the day of the accident, Yarimi reportedly sped north on Ocean Parkway, ran a red light, and collided with a Toyota Camry, subsequently impacting Saada and her children. Eyewitness accounts detailed the aftermath, noting that Yarimi’s vehicle flipped onto its roof as a result of the collision.

Data retrieved from the vehicle’s black box indicated that Yarimi was traveling at approximately 68 miles per hour, significantly above the speed limit, and that there was no evidence she applied the brakes before the crash. Following the incident, Yarimi exhibited distress, claiming to be “haunted” and denying responsibility for the fatalities.

Yarimi has been in custody since the incident, originally facing multiple counts, including manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, which could have culminated in a lengthy sentence if found guilty during a trial. Her public persona as a wig-making influencer further complicates the narrative surrounding her actions.

In previous statements, Yarimi has referenced a traumatic past, including allegations of assault by a police officer when she was a minor, which she claimed in a lawsuit settled for million. This background is likely influencing both her defense strategy and public perception.

With sentencing imminent, the case continues to resonate within the community, highlighting concerns over public safety and the legal system’s handling of reckless driving offenses. The repercussions of this tragedy linger on, affecting not just the family involved but also raising broader questions about accountability on the roads.
