Brooklyn’s slow bleed: one corner, one body, one more year
Brooklyn: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 27, 2025
On Oct 15, 2025, at Neptune Avenue and W 6 Street, a driver hit three people on the sidewalk; an 89-year-old woman died. Police data confirm the fatality; local outlets reported the sidewalk crash and three victims (amNY, New York Post).
This is not an outlier. In Brooklyn this year, 77 people have been killed in crashes, up from 56 at this point last year (NYC Open Data). Since 2022, Brooklyn has recorded 110,505 crashes, 63,825 injuries, and 305 deaths (NYC Open Data).
This Month
- Oct 15: A driver backed an SUV near Neptune Avenue and W 6 Street; an 89-year-old woman walking was killed (NYC Open Data, amNY).
- Sept 27: A 32-year-old woman riding a bike was killed at Meserole Street and Leonard Street (NYC Open Data).
Where the harm lands
Drivers of sedans and SUVs account for most pedestrian carnage. In Brooklyn since 2022, drivers in sedans were linked to 3,994 pedestrian injuries, including 34 deaths; drivers in SUVs were linked to 3,931 pedestrian injuries, including 52 deaths (NYC Open Data). Trucks and buses add to the toll: truck drivers were tied to 520 pedestrian injuries, including 26 deaths (NYC Open Data).
The pattern does not break itself
Year to date, serious injuries are also higher than last year (198 vs. 153) and deaths are up 37.5% (77 vs. 56) (NYC Open Data). This is what a slow disaster looks like: another body on the same grid of streets, another family waiting at the hospital door.
Tools on the table
New York City now has the legal tools to slow cars. Our city can lower speed limits under Sammy’s Law, and advocates are pressing for a default 20 MPH on local streets (CrashCount: Take Action). A state bill would force the worst repeat speeders to install speed limiters: the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) covers drivers with 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year (CrashCount: Take Action).
Brooklyn’s electeds sit on the line between promise and pavement. Council Member Alexa Avilés (District 38), Assembly Member Kalman Yeger (AD 41), and State Senator Steve Chan (SD 17) represent parts of these blocks. The crashes keep coming. The tools exist. Use them.
Do the one thing that saves lives
Lower speeds and rein in repeat offenders. Start here: take action.
