Just before midnight on FDR Drive

- FDR Drive, just before midnight: two northbound drivers hit a 22‑year‑old man who was not at an intersection; he was killed. NYC Open Data.

The toll on these blocks
Since 2022, 18 people have been killed and 3,588 injured in crashes on streets within Assembly District 68. NYC Open Data.
Crashes here total 6,958 over that span, with 53 serious injuries recorded. NYC Open Data.
This year, crashes are up 8.6% over last year (1,659 vs. 1,528), injuries are up 17.6% (951 vs. 809), and deaths are down from 6 to 5. Serious injuries rose from 12 to 20. NYC Open Data.
Where the danger piles up
Deaths cluster overnight: 3 AM and 4 AM each saw three deaths since 2022. NYC Open Data.
3 Avenue is a repeat kill zone, with four deaths and 80 injuries. East 125 Street has one death and 114 injuries. NYC Open Data.
Police records show named driver errors behind multiple deaths: failure to yield in a left turn at 2 Ave and E 93 St killed a 78‑year‑old woman; running the light and unsafe speed appear in other fatal files. NYC Open Data.
What leaders have done — and haven’t
Albany renewed NYC’s 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras in June. Assembly Member Eddie Gibbs voted yes on the extender bill S 8344. Open States.
Two fixes can blunt this violence now:
- Slow turns and clear corners on 3 Avenue and East 125 Street: daylighting, hardened lefts, and leading pedestrian intervals focused at known hot spots. NYC Open Data.
- Targeted overnight enforcement where deaths spike around 3–4 AM. NYC Open Data.
Citywide tools exist and need muscle behind them. Lowering default speeds and forcing repeat speeders to slow down would save lives here. The Stop Super Speeders Act would require intelligent speed limiters for drivers who rack up violations. Take Action.
Hold them to the line
The dead on FDR Drive and at E 118 St are not outliers. The curve bends where policy forces it. Ask Assembly Member Eddie Gibbs, State Senator Jose Serrano, and Council Member Diana Ayala to back the tools that slow drivers before impact. Start here: Take Action.
