"By Dec. 31, New York City will have recorded more than 80,000 reported car crashes in 2025. Every one of them is life-changing, but in the course of our coverage this year, we observed varying levels of psychopathic indifference by car drivers in the five boroughs. Here is a look back: March 29 - Midwood, Brooklyn No crash was more horrific, yet led to so little actual change, as when wig influencer Miriam Yarimi plowed her Audi A3 sedan through a busy intersection,"
"Minutes before the collision, Yarimi drove erratically and blew through several red lights while playing with her phone. She had accumulated more than $12,000 in traffic fines. She bragged about speeding and driving recklessly on TikTok. Her license had been suspended - yet on she drove. At the Saadas' funeral, the neighborhood's Republican Assembly Member Michael Novakhov told Streetsblog that he still opposed a bill that would require the installation of a speed-limiting device in the cars of repeat speeders like Yarimi"
By Dec. 31, New York City will have recorded more than 80,000 reported car crashes in 2025. Every one is life-changing, and many display psychopathic indifference by drivers across the five boroughs. On March 29 in Midwood, Brooklyn, Miriam Yarimi drove an Audi A3 through a busy intersection, killing Natasha Saada, 34, and two of her children; Yarimi's car flipped. Minutes before the collision she drove erratically, blew red lights, played with her phone, accumulated over $12,000 in fines, bragged about reckless driving on TikTok, and drove with a suspended license. Political figures opposed speed-limiting devices and remained publicly silent.
