Miriam Yarimi, 32, a wigmaker with a luxurious lifestyle and a vanity plate reading "WIGM8KER", is accused of causing a fatal car crash in Brooklyn that killed a mother and her two daughters. Driving with a suspended license, Yarimi's Audi collided with another vehicle before striking the family, who were leaving Shabbat services. Yarimi's Instagram displays a lavish lifestyle, including luxury vehicles like a Porsche and an Audi. Court documents reveal she won a $2 million settlement from the NYPD in a lawsuit alleging she was raped by an officer as a minor. Despite this, she accumulated over 93 traffic violations, including speeding tickets and red-light violations, totaling over $10,000 in fines. Police have yet to announce charges in the fatal crash, which claimed the lives of an 8-year-old and 6-year-old, alongside their mother. Yarimi is also a mother of a young child, whose photos frequently appear on her Instagram.
