One man down at 3rd and St. Marks. The count keeps climbing.
Brooklyn: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
Just after 1 PM on Sep 12, 2025, at 3rd Ave and St. Marks Pl, a man riding a moped was ejected and died at the scene, police records show (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- The same day, a driver in a sedan seriously injured a 43-year-old woman on Flatbush Ave near 1171; police recorded severe bleeding (NYC Open Data).
- On Sep 6, at Bedford Ave and Farragut Rd, a driver making a left turn hit a 23-year-old man walking, causing serious injuries (NYC Open Data).
- That same day at Grand St and Bushwick Ave, a driver hit a woman on a bike; she suffered a serious head injury (NYC Open Data).
The tally in Brooklyn
Since Jan 1, 2022, Brooklyn has logged 297 people killed and 61,891 injured in 107,634 crashes (NYC Open Data). The numbers do not pause.
Year to date, deaths are up to 69 from 52 a year ago, and serious injuries are up to 171 from 132, even as total crashes fell to 18,345 from 20,083 (NYC Open Data). Fewer crashes. More people not coming home.
A chase, a body on the curb
On Sep 14 in East New York, a teenager behind the wheel during a police pursuit hit a man standing on the curb, according to reporters at the scene (amNewYork; ABC7; CBS New York). The NYPD changed its pursuit policy this year, limiting when officers can chase; the department cited safety concerns after crashes tied to chases (AP News). New York’s attorney general put it plainly: “the evidence is clear: police vehicle pursuits and high-speed car chases can be dangerous and even fatal, and it is time for a change” (Times Union).
Streets that don’t forgive
The pattern is simple. People walking and biking take the hit. At Bedford and Farragut. At Grand and Bushwick. At 3rd and St. Marks. Names do not appear in these ledgers. Only ages, wounds, and the point of impact (NYC Open Data).
Power sits with City Hall and Albany
Two levers can slow the bloodletting now. Lower the city’s default speed limit. And require speed limiters for repeat offenders. Both are on the table. The City can act on speeds, and the Legislature has the Stop Super Speeders bill to mandate intelligent speed assistance after repeated tickets or points. The case for both is laid out here.
Brooklyn’s Council Member is Alexa Avilés. The area’s Albany delegation in our lookup includes Assembly Member Kalman Yeger and State Senator Steve Chan. Have they co-sponsored the Stop Super Speeders Act? The deaths keep coming; the record is public.
One man died at 3rd and St. Marks. The next name is already in the queue. If you want that to change, act now.
