Mosholu, 2 AM

Mosholu, 2 AM

New York City: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 17, 2025

Just after 2 AM on Sep 7, a 30-year-old man walking on Mosholu Parkway was hit by the driver of a 2024 Toyota sedan going straight. Police recorded driver inattention by the driver. He died at the scene. NYC Open Data.

This Week

  • About midday on Aug 31, at 30 St and 39 Ave, the driver of an SUV turned right and hit a 38-year-old woman in a marked crosswalk. Police recorded failure to yield by the driver. She died. NYC Open Data.
  • Before dawn on Aug 30, at York Ave and E 72 St, a taxi driver going straight hit a person walking outside an intersection. He died. NYC Open Data.

The toll keeps climbing

Since Jan 1, 2022, 1,123 people have been killed and 197,257 injured on city streets. NYC Open Data.

This year, crashes are down 12.6% compared to last year to date, and deaths are down 7.4%. Serious injuries are up 3.4%. NYC Open Data.

Who is doing the harm

Drivers of sedans have killed 98 people walking in this period; drivers of SUVs have killed 205. NYC Open Data.

In Queens this month, a prosecutor put it plain: “Suspect in deadly DWI crash sexually harassed teen before intentionally striking her with SUV, Queens DA says.” CBS New York.

The fixes are known

Speeding is a choice. Cameras curb it. “Speed cameras have cut speeding by over 60% in locations where installed.” NYS Senate.

Two steps sit in front of city and state leaders:

  • Use Sammy’s Law to lower the default city speed limit.
  • Pass the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) to require speed limiters for habitual offenders.

We do not need another night like Mosholu. Ask City Hall and Albany to act. Start here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CrashCount?
We’re a tool for helping hold local politicians and other actors accountable for their failure to protect you when you’re walking or cycling in NYC. We update our site constantly to provide you with up to date information on what’s happening in your neighborhood.
How were these numbers calculated?
We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets for Crashes (h9gi-nx95), Persons (f55k-p6yu), and Vehicles (bm4k-52h4). We filtered for crashes occurring citywide between 2022-01-01 and 2025-09-16 and counted deaths, injuries, serious injuries, and involved modes. Data was last ingested on Sep 15, 2025. You can explore the base datasets here.
What changed in the past month?
In the past month, multiple people walking were killed, including fatalities on Mosholu Parkway, at 30 St and 39 Ave, and at York Ave and E 72 St, according to NYC Open Data.
Why focus on speed?
Speed is the difference between a close call and a funeral. New York State reports that speed cameras cut speeding by over 60% where installed, which means fewer people hit and fewer families shattered. See the NYS Senate’s summary here.
What can leaders do now?
Use Sammy’s Law to lower the default city speed limit, and pass the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) so repeat camera violators must use intelligent speed assistance. You can contact officials and find scripts here.
