A man was arrested and charged for the hit-and-run accident that killed a Queens mother of three.

According to the New York Post, Jairam Budhu, 58, was charged with manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident in connection with the car wreck that killed Zaalika Rasool in South Ozone Park last Sunday.

Reports say that Rasool, 41, her husband, Azaam, and their 9-year-old daughter, Sara, were heading home from a mosque Sunday night when the accused blew through a stop sign and slammed into them resulting in the deadly crash.

Police say the force of the impact ejected Rasool and her 9-year-old daughter, Sarah, from the car and into the street. Rasool was pronounced dead at the scene.
