Four people down in two weeks. One dead. Manhattan keeps moving.
Manhattan: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
Just after school hours on Sep 11, a 15-year-old on a bike was hit by the driver of a 2017 Toyota sedan on W 125 St; police recorded driver inattention and improper passing, and the boy was ejected with severe bleeding (NYC Open Data).
This Month
- Sep 6: at W 81 St and Central Park West, a truck driver making a left turn injured four people walking in the crosswalk (NYC Open Data).
- Sep 4: at E 66 St and Fifth Ave, a bus driver making a right turn injured a 61-year-old woman walking at the intersection (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 30: at York Ave and E 72 St, a taxi driver going straight hit a person in the roadway; police recorded “failure to yield.” He died (NYC Open Data).
The count doesn’t stop
Since Jan 1, 2022, Manhattan has logged 55,554 crashes, 27,560 injuries, and 168 deaths (NYC Open Data).
In the current year-to-date, crashes are down to 9,711 from 10,145, but injuries have edged up to 5,235 and deaths sit at 30, compared to 34 at this point last year (−4.3% crashes; −11.8% deaths; +1.7% injuries) (NYC Open Data). The bodies are real. The margin is small.
Who hits people here
Among people walking in Manhattan since 2022, drivers of SUVs have caused 42 deaths, truck drivers 14, and bus operators 6 (NYC Open Data). Steel, height, and speed meet a human body. The body loses.
One street, many names, same result
W 125 St. Central Park West. Fifth Ave. York Ave. The forms change: a left turn, a right turn, a straight shot. The end is familiar: a stretcher, tape, then traffic again (NYC Open Data).
Power to slow the car, and to stop the repeat offender
City leaders can lower speeds. Albany has given the city levers to set limits, and there is a bill to force the worst repeat speeders to use devices that keep them from driving over the limit. The proposal is the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C), which requires intelligent speed assistance for drivers who rack up violations. Those are the tools on the table (see our Take Action brief).
Manhattan’s representatives are in the room. Council District 3. Assembly District 65. Senate District 27. Will they back a default 20 MPH and the Stop Super Speeders Act—and push it until it passes? What gives.
What now
Lower the default speed. Stop the repeat offenders. The next person in the crosswalk should not pay for our delay. Start here: Take Action.
