Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in AD 68?

East Harlem’s night deaths, and what we refuse to fix

East Harlem’s night deaths, and what we refuse to fix

AD 68: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 6, 2025

Just after 2 AM on Oct 19, 2025, a 37-year-old woman was killed on E 118th Street at 2nd Avenue in East Harlem. Police also said “a 37-year-old woman died after an SUV driver plowed into her … and then fled.” source source

She was one of 17 people killed on Assembly District 68 streets since Jan 1, 2022. Another 3,502 people were injured, with 53 left seriously hurt. source

This Month

  • Oct 19, E 118 St at 2nd Ave: a woman walking was killed; police recorded driver inattention at the scene. source
  • Sep 29, E 128 St at Lexington Ave: a 63-year-old woman and a 5-year-old girl, both crossing with the signal, were hit by a driver turning left in an ACCESS-A-Ride van; police recorded failure to yield by the driver. source

Where the blood pools

Pedestrians take the brunt here: 12 killed and 674 injured since 2022. Bikes: 566 injured. Trucks and buses are in the mix too. source

Deaths cluster in the dark hours. The tally peaks from 2–4 AM with 1, then 3, then 3 deaths recorded across those hours. source

Certain corridors keep showing up: 3 Avenue and East 125 Street rank among the highest for people hurt or killed. source

What police write down

In the Sep 29 crash at Lexington and 128th, police recorded “failure to yield” by the driver turning left. In a June 13, 2024 death at 2nd Avenue and East 93rd, police recorded a left-turning driver and “failure to yield” as well. source

We also see “unsafe speed” appear in deadly files, and “driver inattention” again and again. The pattern is written in the reports. source

The knife-edge at the curb

Left turns cut people down. Night hides them. Big vehicles widen the wound. These are fixable problems: daylight corners, give pedestrians a head start, harden turns so drivers slow, and target late-night speeding and failure-to-yield at known corners like 3rd Avenue and East 125th Street. source

Who moves, and who stalls

Your Assembly Member is Eddie Gibbs (AD 68). In June, he voted “yes” on S 8344, extending school-zone speed protections. source

Citywide tools are on the table. Lower the default speed limit. Stop repeat speeders with mandatory limiters after a documented pattern of tickets. Those steps are laid out here, with the bills named and the call list ready. source

The woman on E 118th is gone. The corner remains. So do the fixes.

Take one step now. Ask your leaders to use the tools they already have: act here.
