# NYC Tragedy: Wigmaker Accused of Killing Mother and Two Daughters in Brooklyn Crash

**A devastating accident** occurred on Ocean Parkway in Gravesend, Brooklyn, where a driver, identified as 32-year-old Miriam Yarimi, allegedly struck and killed a mother and her two young daughters.  The tragic incident occurred as the family was leaving Shabbat services.

**The Driver: A Luxurious Lifestyle and a Troubled Past**

Yarimi, known as "Ellie," is a wigmaker, a profession reflected in her Audi's vanity plate, "WIGM8KER." Her Instagram showcases a lifestyle filled with luxury cars (including a Porsche), vacations, and nights out. However, her past includes a $2 million settlement from an NYPD lawsuit alleging rape when she was a minor.

**A History of Traffic Violations**

Adding to the gravity of the situation, Yarimi had accumulated over 93 traffic violations, including speeding tickets and red-light violations, totaling over $10,000 in fines. This includes a speeding ticket in a school zone just weeks before the fatal crash.  She was driving on a suspended license at the time of the accident.

# NYC Cracks Down on Sky-High Hospital Prices

**Anthem Blue Cross**, New York City's largest public-employee insurer, has agreed to share previously withheld healthcare data with the city's **Office of Healthcare Accountability (OHA)**. This data is crucial in helping to control the exorbitant prices New York hospitals charge patients.

## The Problem: Astronomical Price Discrepancies

A recent OHA report revealed shocking inconsistencies in hospital pricing.  For instance, a colonoscopy could cost anywhere from $940 to $12,000, and a cesarean section between $7,000 and $58,000, depending on the hospital.

<img src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/2014-indianapolis-blue-cross-blue-29932827.jpg?w=1024" alt="Anthem Blue Cross">

The initial report, hampered by missing data from Anthem, highlighted these massive discrepancies.  This led to accusations that Anthem violated the law by withholding vital information.

## The Solution: Data Transparency and Potential Billions in Savings

Following pressure from **Councilwoman Julie Menin**, who sponsored the legislation creating the OHA, and **NYC Comptroller Brad Lander**, who threatened an investigation, Anthem agreed to release the redacted data.

<img src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/991c-safe-hotel-bill-passed-92239898.jpg?w=1024" alt="NYC Councilwoman Julie Menin">

This breakthrough could save the city billions of dollars annually by enabling more effective negotiation of healthcare prices.  The OHA will now issue a revised report using the complete data set.

<img src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/new-york-city-comptroller-mayoral-100855030.jpg?w=1024" alt="Brad Lander">

**Victor DeStefano**, president of Anthem's New York plan, stated the insurer's commitment to price transparency and collaboration with city government to achieve savings for city employees and their families.

## Impact on NYC Taxpayers

The city currently pays Anthem $3 billion annually to insure approximately 900,000 employees.  The OHA report indicates that the GHI-Comprehensive Benefits Plan through Anthem paid an average of $45,150 for inpatient services last fiscal year at the city's top 10 hospital systems, with significant variations between hospitals.

This data release is a significant step towards making healthcare more affordable and accessible for New Yorkers.  It highlights the importance of data transparency in controlling costs and improving the healthcare system.

The Big Apple’s largest public-employee insurer, Anthem Blue Cross, says will provide a new NYC agency the health-care records it needs to help crack down on sky-prices hospitals charge patients.

# Brooklyn Tragedy: Mother and Two Children Killed in Car Crash

A horrific car accident in Brooklyn claimed the lives of a mother and her two young daughters on Saturday.  The incident occurred on Ocean Parkway near Quentin Road in Midwood just after 1 p.m.  A total of 10 people, including six children, were injured and taken to various hospitals.

## The Accident

Police say a 32-year-old woman, Mariam Yarimi, driving an Audi with a suspended license, rear-ended a Toyota Camry. The impact sent the Audi into a group of pedestrians in a crosswalk, resulting in the tragic loss of the mother and her two daughters (ages six and eight). A four-year-old boy, also part of the group, remains hospitalized in critical condition.

The driver of the Audi, who suffered only stable injuries, was extricated from the vehicle, which had overturned.  The driver of the Camry and other children sustained minor injuries.

## Community Response and Investigation

Mayor Adams expressed deep concern and sorrow, describing the event as "a tragic, tragic accident."  The community is in mourning, and residents highlight speeding as a persistent problem on Ocean Parkway.  Authorities are investigating whether the Audi driver ran a red light or was speeding, and conducted a preliminary breath test for intoxication.

No arrests have been made yet.

## Eyewitness Accounts

Eyewitnesses described the scene as "horrifying." One eyewitness, Robin, whose father is an EMT, rushed to assist at the scene.

## Speeding Concerns

Local residents reported frequent speeding and reckless driving on Ocean Parkway, suggesting that speeding might have been a contributing factor to the crash.

This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safe driving and adherence to traffic laws.


Two children and one adult were killed after a multi-vehicle crash on Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn on Saturday, police said.

# NYC Police Council Head Under Fire for Removing Israeli Hostage Posters

Robert Josman, president of the 24th Precinct Community Council on NYC's Upper West Side, has been accused of removing posters of missing Israeli hostages.  Video footage shows Josman repeatedly taking down these posters, sparking outrage among residents.

## Accusations of Hateful Conduct
A coalition of Upper West Side residents has condemned Josman's actions, calling them "overt hatred" toward the Jewish and Israeli communities. They point out that he hasn't removed other signage, suggesting a deliberate targeting of the hostage posters.  The group demands his removal from his volunteer position and mandatory anti-discrimination training for all public servants.

<figcaption>Another instance of Josman removing posters</figcaption>
</figure>

##  High Number of Hate Crimes in the Area
The 24th Precinct reported the fifth-highest number of hate crimes in NYC last year, according to NYPD data.  This context adds fuel to the criticism directed at Josman's actions. The Upper West Side also has one of the highest Jewish populations in the city.

##  Calls for Accountability
Brooke Goldstein, founder of the #EndJewHatred movement, also called for Josman's resignation, characterizing his actions as "despicable" and insensitive to the ongoing suffering of hostages still held by Hamas terrorists, including American citizen Edan Alexander.  Josman has not responded to requests for comment, and the NYPD stated it has no related complaints on file.
