Driver accused of fatally mowing down NYC mom, kids told EMTs she had ‘the devil in me’: sources

The Brooklyn wigmaker charged with fatally mowing down a 32-year-old mom and her two young daughters told first responders she was “possessed” and “had the devil in me,” sources said Sunday.

Miriam Yarimi, 35, who is facing manslaughter charges in the Saturday afternoon horror in Gravesend, rambled when members of the Hatzolah Jewish ambulance service reached her overturned Audi, law-enforcement sources told The Post.

Yarimi had been recently ranting that she was being pursued by the CIA, too — and is now in Bellevue Hospital’s prison ward undergoing a psych evaluation before her arraignment, sources said.

A funeral was being held Sunday afternoon for tragic mom Natasha Saada and her daughters, Diana, 7, and Deborah, 5. Saada’s son, 4-year-old Philip, also was critically hurt in the crash.

Saada’s father is set to fly to Israel with the bodies of his daughter and two granddaughters for burial after the funeral, while her husband will stay back with their fourth child, a baby, and sit shiva while also monitoring their hospitalized son, sources said.

Furniture including beds were removed from the home Sunday to make room for expected visitors during the traditional Jewish period of mourning, according to photos and sources.

Yarimi, whose driver’s license was suspended at the time of the crash, refused to talk to police after the crime, only asking for a lawyer, sources said.

Yarimi’s car, which sports the license plate “WIGM8KER,” has racked up more than 93 traffic violations, including 20 speeding tickets that led to more than $10,000 in fines, according to online records.

The violations include a March 16 ticket for allegedly speeding through a Brooklyn school zone — as well as 20 speed-camera tickets and five red-light violations since August 2023, the records show.

Dashcam footage of the Saturday afternoon fatal crash shows the overturned Audi mowing down the family as they crossed the road, with several others injured in the crash.

Police said the car had smashed into an Uber and went careening onto the sidewalk, striking victims.

Yarimi’s estranged husband declined to comment to The Post on Sunday.
