York Avenue, 5 AM. Another body in the road.
AD 76: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 4, 2025
Just before dawn on Aug 30, a man crossing York Ave near E 72nd St was hit and killed around 5 AM. Police later arrested a driver in connection with the death of 36‑year‑old James Mossetty, an Upper East Side resident, after a crash that began in this area and continued onto the Queensboro Bridge, according to reporters’ summaries of police statements (AMNY; NY Daily News).
He is one of 11 people killed on the streets of Assembly District 76 since Jan 1, 2022, alongside 987 injuries in 2,024 crashes logged in that span (NYC Open Data). The pattern is not easing. Five people have been killed so far this year, compared with one at this point last year—a 400% jump by the city’s own crash records for this district (same source).
“At least 120, 130 [mph]. At least. The damage was just so much that it split in half.” (NY Daily News)
That witness was talking about a fatal Tesla wreck on the FDR near E 70th St on Feb 4. It shut the highway and sent a passenger to the hospital. One woman died. Same district. Same road system.
York and 72nd keeps coming up
This corner and the blocks around it are a drumbeat. On Feb 5, 90‑year‑old Frances Rickard was struck while crossing York Ave at E 72nd St and later died at the hospital, police told reporters (New York Post). Open data also logs a fatal crash at York and E 87th (Apr 2, 2024) and another at York and E 68th (Sep 21, 2023) where a turning driver hit a woman crossing with the signal (NYC Open Data).
The district’s worst corridor is FDR Drive by sheer harm: three deaths and 334 injuries since 2022. Two Avenue and 1 Avenue also show heavy tolls (NYC Open Data). Records repeatedly cite driver inattention and failure to yield among contributing factors in these crashes (same source).
The danger after midnight
Nights are hard here. From 4 AM to 6 AM alone, five people were killed in district crashes since 2022, according to the city’s hourly breakdown (NYC Open Data). The latest death on York Ave came in that window.
Who can stop the next one
Some tools exist. The city has extended 24‑hour school‑zone protections; state lawmakers passed technical fixes in June. Our Assembly Member Rebecca Seawright voted yes on that package, according to the record (Open States: S 8344).
Chronic speeders keep showing up in the files. Seawright is a co‑sponsor on bills to require intelligent speed assistance for drivers who rack up points or camera tickets (A 2299; A 7979). Those devices cap a car’s speed to the limit plus a small margin. The Legislature can move them.
Fix the corners where people die
At York Ave and its cross streets, the files point to turning conflicts and visibility. Daylight the corners to clear sightlines. Add leading pedestrian intervals and hardened turns to slow drivers into the crosswalk. Target the late‑night hours for enforcement and calming on the FDR access routes. These are standard tools the city already uses; the data here says use them at the places that keep killing people (NYC Open Data).
Lower speeds save lives. Enforce limits on the worst drivers. If you want that work done, tell City Hall and Albany. Start here: take action.
