A mother and her two children died, while a third child was hospitalized following a two-car crash on Ocean Parkway Saturday, according to officials, per Fox5. The accident involved a driver hitting a ride-share vehicle with a mother and her three children inside and then another mother with her three children as they crossed the street. 

Officials said that a 2023 silver Toyota Camry with TLC plates was heading west and tried to turn right onto northbound Ocean Parkway. During the turn, it was struck by a blue Audi A3, which then hit a mother and her children.

Sadly, the mother and two of her children who were crossing the street were declared dead at the scene. The third child was quickly transported to the hospital and is in critical condition.

The driver of the Audi, 32-year-old Miriam Yarimi, was hospitalized in stable condition following the accident. Officials discovered she was driving with a suspended license and are investigating the reason behind it. The 62-year-old man driving the Toyota Camry was also hospitalized, but in stable condition. His four passengers, including a mother and her three children, suffered minor injuries and were treated at the hospital.

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch mentioned that speed might have played a role in the incident; however, the investigation just started. Officials are also investigating if the Audi went through a red light during the crash.

Miami Gardens officials confirmed that two men are dead after a Miami-Dade transit bus driver shot them following a verbal altercation around 3 a.m. Sunday. Officials responded to a disturbance call and closed off a shopping center nearby for investigation, per CBS News. 

The driver shot the passengers during the incident. A helicopter was seen at the scene. The two victims were transported to Aventura Hospital, where they were declared deceased. A bystander Wave God reported hearing six shots and expressed concern about neighborhood violence. Officials confirmed the bus was not moving during the encounter.

Reports added that the driver is in custody and they’re investigating the cause of the incident. 

Officials confirmed the driver was on a regular route and called this an “isolated incident.”

Miami Gardens police, Diana Delgado, said, “I don’t think the community needs to be frightened…This was a disturbance that took place between the driver and the victim. At this time we don’t have the full information to say that our community or any passengers need to be frightened of taking a bus.”

Juan Mendieta, a spokesperson for Miami-Dade’s Department of Transportation and Public Works, informed the Miami Herald that county bus drivers cannot carry guns for self-defense. He emphasized that transit operators are not allowed to have firearms while on duty.

A Pennsylvania police officer’s wife, 48-year-old Carla O’Brien, is accused of stealing nearly $150,000 from a youth sports program while serving as treasurer. Reports say she misused the funds for personal expenses, including concerts and shopping, from 2019 to 2024. According to the New York Post, she stole $147,400. 

The Fox Chapel Area Baseball Softball Association informed the Bridgeville Signal Item, “Our organization has been, and will continue to, cooperate with law enforcement related to this matter.” 

The company manages 750 children across almost 3 dozen teams. 

“We respect the legal process and trust authorities to handle the matter appropriately. As this process is ongoing, we are unable to provide further comments and will continue to look for updates from the District Attorney’s Office,” they added. 

The theft began soon after Carla O’Brien was elected treasurer in early 2019. Her scheme was uncovered  when she was removed from her position last July. The board grew suspicious after she repeatedly avoided handing over financial accounts to the treasurer who replaced her. 

Last September, the woman reportedly admitted to stealing money due to financial struggles after a car accident left her and her husband unemployed. She returned nearly $3,500 of the stolen funds. Prosecutors say she spent the money at various retailers such as #Sephora, #Nike, Target, and restaurants. 

Additionally, she used the money to pay off credit cards, per court documents. 

She faces charges for theft, misusing entrusted property, receiving stolen goods, and fraud involving access devices, according to reports.

A mother from Texas, Angela Moreno, was apprehended on Wednesday after reportedly leaving her children alone in the car five months ago. While she was inside a restaurant for about 10 minutes to pick up a Door Dash order, her 3-year-old son nearly strangled himself while playing with the car’s moonroof. The incident occurred on Oct.10, 2024, and the child suffered serious injuries, according to officials, reports the New York Post. 

The young child, left unsupervised in a car with his 1-year-old brother, climbed up and stuck his head out of the moonroof. He accidentally closed the window on his neck by pressing a button on the ceiling, according to Belton officials. Luckily, nearby restaurant employees provided life-saving help to the unconscious child, while his 24-year-old mother watched. Officials transported him to McLane Children’s Hospital, where he received treatment and survived.

Following discussions with the Bell County District Attorney’s Office, Moreno was apprehended and charged with causing injury to a child.

A random attack occurred over the weekend when a stranger pushed a senior woman, 86, to the ground outside a supermarket on the Upper East Side, sadly, shattering her teeth. She was leaving Morton Williams when the man suddenly shoved her from behind, per the New York Post. The impact of the shove caused the elderly woman to fall face-first into a pole that was holding up scaffolding outside the store. 

The assault caused her to break several teeth and injure her left eye and back. Officials reported that she was transported to Weill Cornell Medical Center, where she is thankfully in stable condition.

On Wednesday afternoon, officials released video showing the suspected attacker walking back and forth inside the store. After the incident, he ran away, heading south on Third Avenue, officials say.
