Ocean Parkway, 1 AM
Brooklyn: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 6, 2025
Just after 1 AM on Aug 9, 2025, a driver in a 2023 SUV hit and killed a 45‑year‑old woman at Ocean Parkway and Avenue C in Brooklyn. Police records say the driver was merging; she died at the scene (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Earlier that week (Aug 6), a truck driver going straight hit and killed a 46‑year‑old man at Morgan and Maspeth Avenues (NYC Open Data).
- The same day, an elderly woman was killed crossing 86th Street at 18th Avenue in a marked crosswalk; police recorded “Traffic Control Disregarded” by the driver (NYC Open Data).
“An officer directing traffic … was struck from behind by a black sedan,” a local report said of another Brooklyn crash on Aug 31 at Schenectady and Church Avenues (ABC7). The pattern does not spare anyone who stands in the street.
The count since 2022
Since Jan 1, 2022, in Brooklyn there have been 84,911 crashes, leaving 238 people dead and 49,029 injured (NYC Open Data). That is the backdrop for three more funerals this month.
Among pedestrians alone, drivers in SUVs are tied to 3,018 injuries with 44 deaths, and drivers in sedans to 3,119 injuries with 26 deaths, over the same period (NYC Open Data). These are not outliers. They are the load‑bearing beams of our daily harm.
This year is worse
Year to date, Brooklyn has logged 17,313 crashes, up 19.5% from 14,488 at this point last year. 66 people have been killed, up 65.0% from 40. Injuries are up 30.9%, from 8,506 to 11,138 (NYC Open Data). The curve points one way.
Power sits on desks
Brooklyn is represented here by Council Member Alexa Avilés, Assembly Member Kalman Yeger, and State Senator Steve Chan. Albany has a bill on repeat speeders — the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) — that would force chronic offenders to slow down by installing speed limiters; New Yorkers have been pushing it (Take Action). City Hall has the authority to set safer speeds and is being asked to use it. Both moves are on the table now (Take Action).
The woman on Ocean Parkway is gone. The line keeps moving. Slowing drivers and reining in repeat offenders will save lives if leaders choose to act. Start here: Take Action.
