The Brooklyn woman accused in the Gravesend crash that killed a mother and her two young daughters has pleaded not guilty to second-degree manslaughter.

Miriam Yarimi, 32, appeared at Brooklyn Supreme Court.

The crash happened on March 29 in Gravesend. Prosecutors say Yarimi was speeding when she ran a red light at Ocean Parkway and Quentin Road. They say she first slammed into a Toyota Camry that was being used as an Uber. Her car then spun out of control and struck a family crossing the street.

The victims were 34-year-old Natasha Saada and her daughters, ages 5 and 8. Her 4-year-old son was also injured and remains in the hospital.

Yarimi was first arraigned earlier this month via video from her hospital bed. She was denied bail and remains in custody on charges including manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
