Midtown’s kill zone: seven dead, hundreds hurt, and the lights stay green
Manhattan CB5: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 26, 2025
Sixth Avenue takes. Fifth Avenue takes. The numbers do not look away.
- Since 2022, Manhattan CB5 logged 14 deaths and 2,341 injuries in 4,459 crashes. Pedestrians and cyclists took most of the pain: 8 pedestrians killed, 4 cyclists killed. NYC Open Data
- This year alone: 7 dead, 541 injured. Deaths are up 250% over last year’s pace. Period stats
A car hits a person. The person falls. The city waits.
Sixth Avenue, West 51st: blood on the corner
On West 58th and the Avenue of the Americas, an SUV turned left. An 83‑year‑old woman crossing with the signal went down and died. The driver was licensed. The car was a Mazda. The date was Feb. 11, 10:22 p.m. Crash record
At West 51st and Fifth, a “top intersection” by injuries, the tally climbs: 101 injuries, 8 serious injuries, 1 death on the corridor list. The avenue hums; people cross; steel wins. Hotspots
At West 36th and Seventh, a Toyota SUV struck a 34‑year‑old in the crosswalk. The city wrote “Driver Inattention/Distraction.” He died. It was 11:31 p.m. Crash record
Who gets hurt, and when
The worst hours here hit late afternoon into night. At 3 p.m., the sheet shows 3 deaths and 131 injuries. At 10 p.m., 1 death and 106 injuries. At 11 p.m., 1 death and 86 injuries. The clock turns; so do the wheels. Hourly data
Pedestrians are struck most by SUVs and sedans in this district: SUVs are tied to 6 pedestrian deaths and 144 pedestrian injuries; sedans to 193 pedestrian injuries. Trucks and buses add 66 more pedestrian injuries and 1 death. Bikes also hit people: 131 pedestrian injuries by bikes. The street gives no one mercy. Mode rollup
Causes the city writes down
The blame boxes tell a story in blunt ink.
- “Other” sits on top: 13 deaths, 1,202 injuries.
- “Vulnerable road user error” is next: 2 deaths, 159 injuries.
- “Inattention/distraction” shows 87 injuries.
- “Failure to yield” shows 57 injuries.
- “Unsafe speed” is listed in this area with 3 injuries and 2 serious injuries — a small count that doesn’t quiet the body count. District factors
Names don’t come back. Numbers don’t heal.
City Hall moves slow; cars do not
On Canal Street, after two people were killed by a driver going over 100 mph, the city promised fixes. “We are taking immediate steps to fortify this intersection,” said DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez. Advocates warned most of the corridor stays deadly. Gothamist, NY1
Up the island, DOT says 14th Street will be redesigned next year “to improve the pedestrian experience.” The budget is $3 million, public and BID money mixed. Concrete will come. Lives already left. NY1
The law that could stop the worst repeaters
Albany advanced a bill to force speed limiters on repeat speeders. State Senator Liz Krueger voted yes in committee on S 4045, which targets drivers with a pattern of violations. Open States The Senate also voted to keep school‑zone speed cameras running. Timeline votes
One crash in this district lists “Driver Inattention/Distraction.” Another: a left turn into a person with the light. The pattern is plain. The system lets it continue.
What fixes here, now
- Harden left turns and add leading walk signals at known pain points like the Avenue of the Americas and West 51st, and along Seventh Avenue and West 42nd Street, which together show over 150 injuries. Hotspots
- Daylight corners and protect crossings in the late‑day hours when deaths spike, especially 3–6 p.m. and 10–11 p.m. Hourly data
- Target left‑turn failure‑to‑yield enforcement and curb truck turns in Midtown’s grid during peak crash hours. District factors
Citywide moves that save lives
- Lower the speed limit using the city’s new authority and pair it with 24/7 cameras that Albany already extended. Slower traffic gives people a chance to live. Take Action
- Pass the speed‑limiter bill and make it stick against repeat offenders. Open States
The avenues will not stop themselves. People have to make them stop.
Take one step: demand it now. Act.

Bottcher Pushes City Council to Pass Carriage Ban▸Jul 23 - Dozens rallied at City Hall. They demanded Ryder's Law. Council Member Holden led. NYCLASS joined. The call was sharp: end horse carriages. The industry faces fierce opposition. The council stalls. The danger remains.
"It was the city of New York that contributed to Ryder's death. We're all responsible for what happened. We all were horrified that day on Ninth Avenue when Ryder collapsed in front of horrified onlookers in the heart of my district in Hell's Kitchen, and it gave renewed energy to the movement to end the tourist horse carriage trade in NYC. But here we are, all this time later, the bill still hasn't passed. The bill still doesn't have a hearing." -- Erik D. Bottcher
On July 23, 2025, Council Member Robert Holden and animal advocates rallied at City Hall, demanding passage of Ryder's Law to ban horse-drawn carriages in New York City.

Bottcher Pushes City Council to Pass Carriage Ban▸Jul 23 - Dozens rallied at City Hall. They demanded Ryder's Law. Council Member Holden led. NYCLASS joined. The call was sharp: end horse carriages. The industry faces fierce opposition. The council stalls. The danger remains.
"It was the city of New York that contributed to Ryder's death. We're all responsible for what happened. We all were horrified that day on Ninth Avenue when Ryder collapsed in front of horrified onlookers in the heart of my district in Hell's Kitchen, and it gave renewed energy to the movement to end the tourist horse carriage trade in NYC. But here we are, all this time later, the bill still hasn't passed. The bill still doesn't have a hearing." -- Erik D. Bottcher

Bottcher Pushes City Council to Pass Carriage Ban▸Jul 23 - Dozens rallied at City Hall. They demanded Ryder's Law. Council Member Holden led. NYCLASS joined. The call was sharp: end horse carriages. The industry faces fierce opposition. The council stalls. The danger remains.

We all were horrified that day on Ninth Avenue when Ryder collapsed in front of horrified onlookers in the heart of my district in Hell's Kitchen, and it gave renewed energy to the movement to end the tourist horse carriage trade in NYC. But here we are, all this time later, the bill still hasn't passed. The bill still doesn't have a hearing." -- Erik D. Bottcher
