A mother, 35, and two of her daughters, aged 6 and 8, were killed by an individual driving on a suspended license in a predominantly Orthodox Jewish area of Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon.
Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed that an Audi had collided with a Toyota Camry on Ocean Parkway in Gravesend, Brooklyn, before driving into a crosswalk where it struck the family.
The three were pronounced dead on the scene, and the third child – a four-year-old boy – is in critical condition.
The driver of the Audi was named by Tisch as Miriam Yarimi, 32, and the police are investigating why her license was suspended. She is in stable condition.
