Left turn on Broadway. A woman dies. The pattern holds.
Manhattan CB5: Jan 1, 2022 - Dec 13, 2025
Just before 9 PM on Dec 8 at Broadway and W 53rd, the driver of a 2023 Cadillac SUV turned left and hit a 60‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal. Police recorded failure to yield by the driver. She died at the scene. Source | press.
She is one of 18 people killed on the streets of Manhattan Community Board 5 since 2022. Eleven were walking. Source.
The turns keep killing
This corner is not alone. A person walking, 83, was killed by a left‑turning SUV at Avenue of the Americas and W 58th on Feb 11, 2025. Police recorded a left‑turn movement and a struck pedestrian in the crosswalk. Source.
A person on a bike, 23, was killed by a driver turning left at Park Avenue South and E 27th on Dec 30, 2023. Police recorded failure to yield by the driver. Source.
Intersections here carry the worst toll. Avenue of the Americas has logged 132 injuries and a death since 2022. W 51st Street has seen three deaths. Source.
Nights are not safe
The danger climbs after dark. The 10 PM hour alone has seen three deaths in this district since 2022. The 11 PM hour adds one more. Source.
Police records tie many of these crashes to driver actions we know how to curb: failure to yield and improper turns. Source.
What leaders can do now
This district’s Council Member is Keith Powers. On the state level, the Senator is Liz Krueger and the Assembly Member is Tony Simone. [Context].
Krueger co‑sponsored and voted yes on the Senate’s speed‑limiter bill S4045 in committee this year. Record. Simone co‑sponsored the Assembly companion A2299. He also co‑sponsored A7997 to expand camera enforcement to catch obscured plates. Assembly A2299 | Senate S4045.
At the same time, state leaders have let half a billion dollars of congestion‑pricing gear sit idle after the program was paused, even as Midtown bleeds. Powers said the state “certainly should take advantage of this very expensive infrastructure in Midtown.” Source.
Fix the corners where people die
Start with the turns. Harden them. Ban the worst lefts. Give people on foot the head start with leading pedestrian intervals. Daylight the crosswalks at Avenue of the Americas and along W 51st Street so drivers can see who is in front of them. Target failure‑to‑yield enforcement at these same nodes. Data.
Then end the speed problem at its source. Lower the default speed limit citywide and require speed‑limiters for repeat offenders by passing S4045/A2299. Senate S4045 | Assembly A2299.
The woman on Broadway should have made it home. Others still can. Take one step today: add your voice and push for these fixes here.
