Atlantic and Elton: two lives gone on a road we already knew was deadly
District 37: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 6, 2025
Just after 8 PM on Sep 1, at Atlantic Avenue and Elton Street, a man and a woman on a motorcycle were ejected and died after colliding with an SUV making a left turn (NYC Open Data; ABC7).
They were two of 13 people killed on District 37 streets since Jan 1, 2022 (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Sep 1: Two people on a Harley‑Davidson were killed in a collision with a left‑turning SUV at Atlantic Ave and Elton St (NYC Open Data; ABC7).
- Aug 19: Two SUVs collided; a teen rear passenger was injured (timeline).
- Aug 15: Left‑turn sedan hit two motorcycle riders (timeline).
- Jul 27: Moped rider was killed on Jamaica Avenue (timeline).
Speed and steel do not forgive after dark
Crashes do not slow in this district. Year to date: 1,345 crashes, up 15.7% from last year’s 1,162. Deaths climbed from 3 to 5; serious injuries from 10 to 18 (NYC Open Data). The hours when families head home are the worst. Deaths stack up in the evening, including 6 PM through 10 PM in the district’s hourly record (NYC Open Data).
Atlantic Avenue is a known wound. In this period it saw 1 death and 253 injuries tied to crashes in District 37. Central Avenue saw 2 deaths and 47 injuries (NYC Open Data).
Drivers making lefts and rights keep hitting people. Police records show recurring driver failures: failure to yield and disregarding signals appear again and again in the district’s severe crashes (NYC Open Data).
The biggest machines do the deepest harm
Pedestrians in District 37 are most often hit by drivers in sedans and SUVs, but trucks and buses are deadlier: they are tied to 2 pedestrian deaths and 6 serious injuries in the current tally (NYC Open Data). A bus driver hit a pedestrian on Van Sinderen Avenue near Herkimer Street this spring; police cited driver distraction (NYC Open Data).
At Broadway and Somers, a turning bus driver left a man on a bike with severe head bleeding in July (NYC Open Data).
We know what clears the view
Daylighting removes parked cars at corners so people can see and be seen. Council Member Sandy Nurse backs a citywide push to require it: “Universal daylighting is a proven, effective way to make our streets safer for pedestrians, bikers and drivers” (City & State NY). Nurse also co‑sponsors Intro 1138, which would ban standing or parking within 20 feet of crosswalks and force 1,000 hardened daylighting installs per year (NYC Council – Legistar).
On abandoned hulks that block sightlines and crosswalks, the Council voted to make removal faster; Nurse voted yes (NYC Council – Legistar).
District pattern, city fixes
Here the bodies are pedestrians, cyclists, moped riders, passengers, and drivers. The pattern repeats on Bushwick Avenue, Central Avenue, Crescent Street, Hale Avenue, and up and down Atlantic. Evenings cut the deepest. Heavy vehicles add fatal force. It does not stop on its own.
Two citywide moves would help now:
- Lower the default speed limit on residential streets. Slower speeds cut deaths. New Yorkers have already organized for it; the mechanism exists. Start with a citywide 20 MPH default and build from there (CrashCount: Take Action).
- Stop repeat speeders with in‑car limiters for the worst offenders. Require intelligent speed assistance for drivers who rack up camera or point violations, as outlined in the Stop Super Speeders push (CrashCount: Take Action).
Accountability
- Council Member Sandy Nurse backs universal daylighting and co‑sponsors Intro 1138 (City & State NY; NYC Council – Legistar). She also voted to speed removal of abandoned vehicles (NYC Council – Legistar).
- Assembly Member Maritza Davila and State Senator Julia Salazar represent this area in Albany. The repeat‑speeder crackdown and default 20 MPH need state partnership and City Hall will. What gives?
The two people who died at Atlantic and Elton cannot be brought back. The fixes are known. Use them. Act now.
