Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Brooklyn CB8?
A Boy Is Dead. The Street Still Bleeds.
Brooklyn CB8: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 30, 2025
The Toll This Year
Another child is dead. On June 28, an eight-year-old boy was crossing Eastern Parkway with his sister. A black Honda Pilot hit him. Neighbors saw the boy dragged from under the SUV. “I just saw a lot of blood gushing out of his ears, his mouth,” a witness said. The driver stayed. No arrest. The street was cleaned. The boy did not go home.
In the past twelve months, one person died and five suffered serious injuries on these streets. 387 people were hurt. Children, elders, cyclists, walkers. The numbers do not stop. Since 2022, ten have died, including a child. More than 1,600 have been injured. The wounds are not just numbers. They are broken bodies, empty beds, families left with silence.
The Machines That Kill
Cars and trucks do most of the harm. SUVs and sedans alone caused over 250 pedestrian injuries and one death. Trucks and buses killed another. Motorcycles, mopeds, and bikes left more people hurt. The street is a gauntlet. The risk is not shared. The strong survive. The vulnerable bleed.
What Leaders Have Done—And Not Done
Local leaders have spoken. Council Members Crystal Hudson and Chi Ossé have co-sponsored bills to ban parking near crosswalks, speed up protected bike lanes, and push for citywide safety upgrades. But the bills sit in committee. The danger waits for no one.
State Senator Zellnor Myrie rode a bike through Brooklyn. He said, “We should be making this as easy as possible and as safe as possible for as many people as possible” he told Streetsblog. The streets did not change.
The Street Remembers
A teacher said of the boy, “I loved that boy. He was a great kid” the New York Post reported. The city moved on. The blood on the street dried. The risk remains.
Call to Action
This is not fate. These deaths are not the weather. Demand more. Call your council member. Call your senator. Tell them to pass the bills, build the lanes, clear the corners, and slow the cars. Do not wait for another child to die.
