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.
