A mother and her two daughters are dead, and her 4-year-old son is in critical condition, after a crash in Gravesend.
Police say 32-year-old Miriam Yarimi was driving an Audi on Ocean Parkway Saturday when she crashed into the Saada family.
The crash killed 34-year-old Natasha Saada and two of her children - 8-year-old daughter, Diana and 5-year-old, Debra.
Police say Yarimi was driving without a license and had nearly 100 traffic offenses in the last two years.
She is still in the hospital and has not seen a judge.
She is scheduled for a bedside arraignment on Wednesday morning.
Neighbors tell News 12 that they don't know the Saada family but keep coming in to show their respects. Teddy bears and flowers filled a tree at the sight of the Ocean Parkway crash - also with candles and hand-written notes.
