Distracted sedan driver kills elderly cyclist
A northbound driver in a sedan hit a 78-year-old man on a bike on Riverside Drive. The crash crushed the rider’s leg and took his life. Police recorded driver inattention and another life lost.
A northbound driver in a 2021 Toyota sedan hit a 78-year-old man riding a bike near 820 Riverside Drive in Manhattan. The collision damaged the sedan’s front end and the back of the bicycle and caused fatal hip and upper leg injuries to the cyclist, who was ejected. According to the police report, the listed contributing factor was “Driver Inattention/Distraction,” a clear failure by the driver to safely control the car around a vulnerable road user. The bicyclist was recorded as wearing a helmet. No injuries were reported for the driver or other listed occupants.
Push leaders in 7 to fix the dangerous streets.

About these crash totals
Counts come from NYC police crash reports (NYC Open Data). We sum all crashes, injuries, and deaths for this area across the selected time window shown on the card. Injury severity follows the official definitions in the NYPD dataset.
- Crashes: number of police‑reported collisions (all road users).
- All injuries: total injured people in those crashes.
- Moderate / Serious: subcategories reported by officers (e.g., broken bones vs. life‑threatening trauma).
- Deaths: people who died due to a crash.
Change badges (arrows and percentages) compare the selected window with the same period last year whenever we have enough history. The “From 2022” view compares today’s totals with the earlier multi-year span. When a comparison window isn’t available the badge shows an em dash.
Notes: Police reports can be corrected after initial publication. Minor incidents without a police report are not included.
