How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes, Persons, Vehicles). We filtered crashes to the period Jan 1, 2022–Sep 18, 2025 and to locations within Brooklyn Community Board 17. We then counted total crashes, people killed, people injured, and serious injuries, and summarized by corridor and time of day. Data were last checked Sep 17, 2025. You can start from the source datasets [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95) and apply the same date window and CB17 boundary filter.

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.
