Staten Island’s tally keeps climbing. The fixes sit idle.
Staten Island: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 5, 2025
Late night on Aug 25, a motorcyclist died on the Verrazzano approach.
They were one of 45 people killed on Staten Island since Jan 1, 2022, alongside 7,198 injured in 13,725 crashes in that span, according to city data (NYC Open Data).
The slope is getting steeper
So far this year, Staten Island has logged 3,024 crashes, 1,796 injuries, and 10 deaths, up from 2,403 crashes, 1,182 injuries, and 7 deaths at this point last year — increases of 25.8%, 51.9%, and 42.9% respectively (NYC Open Data). Serious injuries more than doubled year‑to‑date, from 8 to 25 (NYC Open Data).
This is not an abstraction. On May 17, police said Jose Luis Gomez‑Guallazaca, 58, was crossing Targee Street when an e‑scooter struck him. He died at the hospital. “Upon impact, the driver was violently ejected off the scooter while Gomez‑Guallazaca sustained severe trauma,” amNY reported. City crash records list the case as a pedestrian killed at Targee and Pierce that evening (Open Data CrashID 4813412).
Streets that don’t forgive
On July 5 in Clifton, a Toyota made a K‑turn on Bay Street. A motorcyclist hit the driver’s door and later died at the hospital, according to amNY. No arrest. The NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad took the case, the outlet said.
Weeks later, just after 1 AM on Aug 5 in Port Richmond, a 13‑year‑old on a moped collided with an MTA bus on Castleton Avenue and was left in critical condition. “The moped went through a stop sign without stopping and hit the bus,” the MTA said, per amNY. ABC7 confirmed the boy suffered a severe head injury and the bus occupants were unhurt (ABC7).
Each case different. The result the same. A body on the pavement. A family that waits.
Leaders who own the outcome
This is Staten Island. Council Member Frank Morano. Assembly Member Charles Fall. State Senator Jessica Scarcella‑Spanton.
Citywide tools exist. Slow cars. Stop repeat speeders. Advocates are pushing to drop the default speed limit and to require speed‑limiting tech for drivers who rack up tickets — the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would force chronic violators to use devices that keep them within 5 MPH of the limit (details and contacts).
One person was killed crossing Hylan. Another on Forest. A worker in a loading yard. A teen on a side street. The list is long in the city’s own ledger (NYC Open Data). The pace this year is worse than last.
Slow the cars. Stop the worst offenders. The calls are on your desk.
Take one step today: tell your representatives to act — start here.
