A glamorous wigmaker allegedly mowed down a mother and her two daughters in a horrific crash in New York City.  

Miriam Yarimi, aged 32, was driving an Audi on Saturday with a suspended license when she crashed into another car and then into a family, authorities reported.

Yarimi, who is also known as Ellie, works as a wigmaker. She has posted photos on social media showing herself alongside a blue Audi bearing the license plate ‘WIGM8KER’.

The family of four had been crossing over Ocean Parkway in Midwood, Brooklyn, when officers say Yarimi crashed into a Uber driver. 

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said that the impact forced the taxi to be pushed aside while the Audi continued and collided with the family. 

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

During a press briefing, Tisch mentioned that Yarimi’s license was suspended. It remains uncertain if she was exceeding the speed limit or if she went through a red light. As of now, no charges have been pressed against her.

Medics rushed the family of four to hospital where the mother, 35, and two daughters, aged 6 and 8, died. The third child, a 4-year-old boy, is in a critical condition.

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

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

She also won $2 million from the NYPD in a lawsuit she filed against the force over allegations that she was raped by a cop as a minor. 

In a post to her Instagram last year she said: ‘After years of fighting, I have won my lawsuit against the NYPD for the abuse I endured as a child.

‘This victory is not just for me – it’s for every survivor who has felt silenced or forgotten. 

‘The trauma I experienced shaped so much of who I am today, but it has also given me the strength to keep going, to keep speaking out and to keep fighting for justice.’

Speaking at the crash site, Mayor Eric Adams said: ‘To see a mother and her two children lost to a vehicle crash, this is extremely concerning and painful not only to the City of New York in general but specifically to a close-knit 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 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.’
