The count
Since 2022, 14 people have been killed in Assembly District 70, with 2 on bikes and 6 walking. Another 2,742 were hurt in 5,152 crashes. Data.
In the past 12 months, the district saw 1,269 crashes, 5 deaths, and 680 injuries. Year to date, crashes are 901 with 3 deaths and 485 injuries. Data.
SUVs figure in the worst outcomes for people on foot: police records tie them to 6 pedestrian deaths here since 2022. Data.
Where it hits
West 125 Street is a wound: 1 death and 149 injuries. Eighth Avenue is close: 1 death and 124 injuries. Data.
The pain clusters in the afternoon. Around 3 PM and 4 PM, police logged 200 injuries each hour, with deaths in both hours. Evenings add more loss at 7 PM, 9 PM, and 11 PM. Data.
How it happens
Police cite inattention/distraction alongside 92 injuries since 2022 here. They recorded failure to yield with 30 injuries. Left turns show up in case after case, including the June 28 Lenox crash. Data.
For pedestrians, taxis and buses hurt people too, but the deadliest link in the record is SUVs. The pattern is steady. The names change. The street stays the same. Data.
Who must move
Albany just extended school speed‑zone protections. Assembly Member Jordan Wright voted yes on S 8344. Record.
That is not enough. City Hall can lower speeds on local streets. The state can rein in repeat speeders with intelligent limiters. The campaign to pass the Stop Super Speeders Act and drop default speeds is laid out here.
What fixes help here
- Daylight 125th, Lenox, and Eighth. Clear sight lines at every corner. Data
- Harden left turns at signals. Protect crossings where turn crashes recur, including W 138 St at Lenox Ave. Data
- Target the peak hours. Afternoon enforcement and signal timing where injuries spike at 3–4 PM. Data
A boy fell on 125th. The tally keeps growing. Slow the cars. Stop the repeats. Start here.
