Uptown’s Toll: Death on Broadway, Blood on the Parkway
Manhattan CB12: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 26, 2025
Manhattan CB12 is small on a map. The pain fills it.
Twelve people have died here since 2022. Hundreds more were hurt. The city logged 4,360 crashes in this board’s bounds. Pedestrians took 456 injuries. Cyclists took 258. The numbers come from the city’s own database and our rollups.
Broadway and the Parkway keep taking
BROADWAY leads the injury list with 277 people hurt and one death. HENRY HUDSON PARKWAY shows 222 injuries and three deaths. Those are the top hot spots in CB12’s data. See the city’s crash feed for the cases.
A crash on the Henry Hudson at 2:25 a.m. killed two people and hurt another, according to the city’s record of CrashID 4750210. Four vehicles. Two dead at the scene. The file lists a pickup “demolished.”
On FORT GEORGE AVE and AUDUBON, a 25‑year‑old motorcycle rider was ejected and killed at 9:44 p.m., per CrashID 4743277.
On WEST 181 STREET, a 37‑year‑old bicyclist died at 3:57 a.m. after striking a parked tractor trailer, the city’s log says in CrashID 4729767.
Nights are loud with sirens
Injuries pile up after dark. Between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m., the hours with the most recorded deaths were 2 a.m. (three), 3 a.m. (one), 4 a.m. (two), 9 p.m. (one), 10 p.m. (one), and 5 p.m.–6 p.m.–7 p.m.–8 p.m.–9 p.m. all show heavy injury counts. At 6 p.m., injuries spike to 136 with ten serious. That is the peak for severe harm in this dataset.
Speed, inattention, and a red light run
“Unsafe speed” shows up in the fatal moped crash on SAINT NICHOLAS AVE and WEST 185 STREET. A 15‑year‑old was killed. The city’s file cites speed and a traffic control disregard in CrashID 4678005.
Across CB12’s rollup, “failure to yield,” “unsafe speed,” “inattention,” and “disregarded traffic control” appear as contributing factors. Five deaths sit under “other/unspecified” in the city’s summaries. We don’t get answers there. Only bodies.
Trucks, SUVs, and the human cost
SUVs and cars account for most pedestrian harm here, with 396 recorded pedestrian injury cases tied to them in the rollup. Trucks and buses appear less often, but when they do, the damage is heavy. One parked tractor trailer is the last thing a rider saw on West 181st.
Fix the blocks we know are deadly
Start where the data points. Harden turns and add daylighting on BROADWAY’s worst stretches. Add protected space and signal priority for walkers and riders at the ramps feeding HENRY HUDSON PARKWAY. Put truck loading where it does not force a human into a live lane on WEST 181 STREET. These are standard tools the city already uses.
Citywide tools are on the table
Albany renewed the 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras through 2030, according to AMNY. That program is now law through 2030, the report says. The Senate and Assembly votes from local lawmakers are on the record in our timeline.
The state is also moving a bill to force speed‑limiters on repeat violators. In the Senate, S 4045 advanced with yes votes from local Senator Robert Jackson in June 2025. In the Assembly, A 2299 has co‑sponsors from uptown. The bill would require intelligent speed assistance after repeated violations.
NYC now has the power to lower speeds. Sammy’s Law gave the city authority, and the Council and DOT have begun to use it in places. Our own action page explains how to press for a 20 mph default and the speed‑limiter bills. Slower cars mean fewer funerals.
No comfort in the ledger
CB12 shows zero recorded deaths year‑to‑date, but the bodies since 2022 are still on our streets. Two at 2:25 a.m. on the Parkway. A teen on St. Nicholas. A rider on 181st. One death on Sherman. The ledger keeps their times. The corners stay the same.
Take one step: tell City Hall and Albany to slow the traffic and end the repeat speeding. Start here: Take Action.

Three months earlier, she allegedly hit a pedestrian in Brooklyn and fled.
