Crash Count for AD 51 6,697 crashes • 26 deaths
About these crash totals
Counts come from NYC police crash reports (NYC Open Data). We sum all crashes, injuries, and deaths for this area across the selected time window shown on the card. Injury severity follows the official definitions in the NYPD dataset.
- Crashes: number of police‑reported collisions (all road users).
- All injuries: total injured people in those crashes.
- Moderate / Serious: subcategories reported by officers (e.g., broken bones vs. life‑threatening trauma).
- Deaths: people who died due to a crash.
Change badges (arrows and percentages) compare the selected window with the same period last year whenever we have enough history. The “From 2022” view compares today’s totals with the earlier multi-year span. When a comparison window isn’t available the badge shows an em dash.
Notes: Police reports can be corrected after initial publication. Minor incidents without a police report are not included.
