Funeral services were held in Brooklyn Sunday for the mother and her two children who were killed in a crash in Gravesend.
Crowds of people showed up near at Shomrei Hadas Chapels Funeral Home to say their final goodbyes.
The funeral service happened as NYPD confirmed the victims' identities.
Authorities say 34-year-old Nataasha Saada, and her daughters, 8-year-old Diana and 5-year-old Deborah, were struck by a car while crossing at an intersection on Ocean Parkway on Saturday.
Saada's 4-year-old son, whom police had not identified, was still in critical condition as of Sunday night.
The driver who police say is responsible is facing nearly a dozen charges.
News 12 has learned the driver accused of causing the crash had nearly 100 traffic violations on her vehicle.
Transportation alternatives are calling for the passage of a state bill that would require speed limiters to be installed on vehicles of repeat speeders.
