Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in NYC?

Night on the Grand Central

Night on the Grand Central

New York City: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 10, 2025

A 46-year-old man was killed at night on the Grand Central Parkway. Police recorded the driver of an SUV going straight when he hit him. NYC Open Data

This Week

  • A driver in an SUV hit and killed an 84-year-old man near 18 Ave and 49 St; police noted driver distraction. NYC Open Data
  • In Mott Haven, a box-truck driver going straight hit a 68-year-old man at E 149 St and 3 Ave; he died. NYC Open Data
  • In Corona, a person on a Citi e-bike died after a crash by 108 St and 38 Ave that involved a parked BMW; records list him as ejected. NYC Open Data

The toll does not let up

He was one of 1,171 people killed on city streets since Jan 1, 2022. NYC Open Data

A day before that Parkway death, an unlicensed SUV driver hit and killed an 84-year-old man in Borough Park. Police listed “driver inattention/distraction.” NYC Open Data

In the West Village, a wrong-way van driver killed a woman in a crosswalk. “The driver of a commercial van struck and killed a woman in her 20s as he drove the wrong way on Morton Street.” Streetsblog NYC

The pattern is citywide

Queens. Brooklyn. The Bronx. Manhattan. The names change; the acts repeat. The city’s own crash records show hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries in this period. NYC Open Data

The tools are on the table

City Hall can lower speed limits. Albany is weighing a bill to force the worst repeat speeders to use tech that keeps them at the limit. Both steps are laid out here. Take action

What happens now

Another crosswalk. Another curb. Another family. We do not need more names to know what to do. Slow the cars. Stop the repeat offenders. Take action

Frequently Asked Questions

▸ How were these numbers calculated?
We used NYC’s official Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets on NYC Open Data: Crashes (h9gi-nx95), Persons (f55k-p6yu), and Vehicles (bm4k-52h4). We filtered for New York City incidents from Jan 1, 2022 through Nov 10, 2025 and summarized fatalities and recent deaths cited here. Extraction date: Nov 9–10, 2025. A reproducible query that returns the citywide total deaths over this period using the Crashes table is available here.
▸ Why focus on people walking and biking?
They are exposed. In the recent cases above, people on foot and on a bike were killed by drivers. The city’s records show the harm is widespread. NYC Open Data
▸ What policies could change this now?
Lower NYC’s default speed limit and require speed limiters for habitual speeders. Both are detailed with contacts and scripts on our site. Take action
▸ What is CrashCount?
We’re a tool for helping hold local politicians and other actors accountable for their failure to protect you when you’re walking or cycling in NYC. We update our site constantly to provide you with up to date information on what’s happening in your neighborhood.
