Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in District 42?

Eight Dead, Countless Broken—How Many Bodies Before Banks Acts?
District 42: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 19, 2025
The Bodies in the Road
In District 42, the numbers do not lie. Eight dead. Fourteen left with injuries so severe they may never walk the same. In the last twelve months, 1,338 people have been hurt in 1,950 crashes. Children, elders, workers—no one is spared. The dead do not get to speak. The living are left to count the cost.
Just this winter, a woman crossing Pennsylvania Avenue with the light was struck and killed by an SUV. The crash report lists the cause: “Failure to Yield Right-of-Way” and “Driver Inattention/Distraction” (NYC Open Data). The driver kept their license. The woman lost her life.
A few weeks later, a 26-year-old woman died as a passenger when a sedan slammed into a bus and a parked truck on Blake Avenue. The crash report is blunt: “Apparent Death.” No warning. No time to say goodbye.
The Human Cost
The pain does not end at the curb. It spreads through families and neighborhoods. “It’s devastating. It’s affecting everyone in our family, especially (Ruiz’s) mom. Maddy was her only daughter,” said a relative after a reckless driver killed a young woman in a parking lot, her nephews injured beside her.
The city calls these “accidents.” But the pattern is clear. Cars and SUVs are the main killers. Out of all pedestrian injuries and deaths, sedans and SUVs are responsible for the vast majority. Trucks, buses, and motorcycles add to the toll. Bikes are a fraction, but the deadliest threat rolls on four wheels.
What Has Chris Banks Done?
Council Member Chris Banks has voted for and co-sponsored bills to clear abandoned vehicles from streets, speed up pavement markings, and require discounted bike share for seniors. He backed laws to boost transparency and accountability for street safety projects (NYC Council – Legistar). He co-sponsored a bill to require speed humps near parks. These are steps. But the blood on the street says it is not enough.
The Next Step Is Yours
Every day, another crash. Every week, another family broken. Call Council Member Chris Banks. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand real protection for people walking and biking. Do not wait for another name on the list.
