Atlantic and Elton, two lives gone. The clock keeps ticking.
AD 54: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 6, 2025
Just after 4 PM on Sep 1, a man and a woman on a motorcycle hit an SUV at Atlantic Ave and Elton St. Both were 42. Both died, police records show (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Aug 19, Ridgewood Ave at Pine St: an 18-year-old passenger was badly hurt in a three‑SUV crash (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 12, near 356 Arlington Ave: a 33-year-old driver was ejected and injured (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 11, Liberty Ave at Crescent St: a 17-year-old on a motorized device was cut and injured after a collision with a sedan (NYC Open Data).
Two of eight. That is the toll in Assembly District 54 since Jan 1, 2022 — 8 people killed, with 2 pedestrians among them, and thousands hurt (NYC Open Data). The count is steady. The bodies change.
Crashes are rising. By this point in the year, AD 54 has logged 901 crashes, 531 injuries, and 12 serious injuries, up from 802, 457, and 5 at the same time last year — jumps of 12.3%, 16.2%, and 140.0% (NYC Open Data). Deaths are flat at three each year to date. The suffering is not.
Night falls, and risk swells. The city’s records place multiple deaths in the evening hours — 6 PM, 8 PM, 10 PM — with injuries piling up through the late day (NYC Open Data).
Where the street fails, people pay. Atlantic Avenue is a top injury corridor in this district. So is Bushwick Avenue (NYC Open Data). Police reports in AD 54 list driver inattention, failure to yield, running the light, alcohol, and tailgating among recorded causes of injuries here (NYC Open Data).
A man crossing Fulton at Washington in Cypress Hills never made it home. “Investigators say a burgundy Ford Explorer with Pennsylvania license plates struck and killed the 55‑year‑old man… The vehicle did not remain on the scene,” ABC7 reported.
Fix the corners. Cut the speed. Harden turns, add daylighting, and give leading walk time at the district’s worst spots — Atlantic Ave, Bushwick Ave, Crescent St — with targeted night enforcement where deaths cluster (NYC Open Data).
Who moves first? In Albany, Assembly Member Erik Dilan voted yes this June to extend and clean up school‑zone speed laws in S 8344 (Open States). That keeps cameras watching near schools. Citywide, the next steps are on the table: a lower default speed limit and speed limiters for repeat offenders. The Stop Super Speeders Act would require intelligent speed assistance for drivers who rack up violations; New Yorkers are already pushing for it and a slower city on our Take Action page.
Atlantic and Elton will not be the last. The number is eight. It does not have to climb. Start with the speed. Start now. See the steps here.
