The glam Brooklyn wigmaker charged with mowing down a mom and her two young daughters in a horrific crash allegedly bragged about her love of street racing, a “need for speed” and her expensive taste in luxe cars, The Post has learned.
Miriam Yarimi, 35, who is accused of smashing her Audi A4 into the family in Gravesend on Saturday afternoon, had previously boasted about needing to have a fast vehicle, one of her acquaintances told The Post.
“[She] always talked about how she drove fast and wanted fast cars,” the pal, who didn’t want to be named, said.
“She told me that she’s an adrenaline junkie and always needs a thrill — and she needed to have a fast car.”
Yarimi, who had racked up a slew of traffic violations and speeding tickets in her now-wrecked Audi, had only just posted on social media about snapping up a new Porsche 718 Boxster.
“She would always say she has a need for speed, she loves adrenaline. She can’t sit still, that’s why she wanted to buy that Porsche,” the acquaintance claimed.
“She’s like ‘I love to race people, that’s why I want to buy that Porsche.’”
Yarimi had posted a video on Instagram two weeks ago of her sitting in a yellow Porsche inside a dealership with the caption: “POV a year ago I was completely broke, today I built my first Porsche 718 Boxers S (in custom black and white).”
The driver, whose license was suspended at the time, is now facing manslaughter charges after grim dashcam footage allegedly captured her plowing down Natasha Saada and her daughters, Diana, 7, and Deborah, 5, as they crossed the street after leaving a Shabbat service.
Saada’s 4-year-old son, Philip, was also critically injured in the wreck.
Yarimi’s Audi, which sports the license plate “WIGM8KER,” had just smashed into an Uber before it careened onto the sidewalk and struck the family, cops said.
The car had racked up more than 93 traffic violations, including 20 speeding tickets, online records show.
Meanwhile, Yarimi allegedly refused to talk to police at the scene — instead telling first responders she was “possessed” and “had the devil in me,” sources said.
She was taken to Bellevue Hospital’s prison ward to undergo a psych evaluation before her arraignment, the sources added.
