Mid‑afternoon on 125th: a 15‑year‑old on a bike goes down
District 9: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
About 3:40 PM on Sep 11, 2025, on 125th Street, a 15‑year‑old riding a bike was ejected and left with severe bleeding. Police recorded driver inattention and improper lane use in the crash with a sedan (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- At W 120 St and Lenox Ave on Jul 18, police recorded driver inattention in a crash that left a 20‑year‑old driver seriously hurt (NYC Open Data).
- At W 138 St and Lenox Ave on Jun 28, a driver in an SUV turning left hit a 69‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal; she suffered severe bleeding (NYC Open Data).
The toll, block by block
Since 2022, District 9 has recorded 14 deaths and 3,368 injuries in 6,342 crashes (NYC Open Data). People on foot and on bikes bear a heavy share: pedestrians injured 695; cyclists injured 607. Six pedestrians and three cyclists are dead in this period (NYC Open Data).
Afternoons hit hard. Around 3 PM to 7 PM, injuries peak, including the single highest hour near 3 PM with 250 injuries across the period (NYC Open Data). Police reports in this area repeatedly log driver inattention, failure to yield, and improper passing among contributing factors, alongside left‑turn impacts at crosswalks (NYC Open Data).
Corners that don’t forgive
Lenox Avenue shows the pattern. At W 138 St, police recorded a left‑turning driver hitting a woman who had the signal (NYC Open Data). A 3‑year‑old was killed in a left‑turn crash at Lenox and W 135 St in 2024 (NYC Open Data).
Hotspots in this district include 8th Avenue and Saint Nicholas Avenue, with high injury counts over the period (NYC Open Data). These corners are not mysteries. They are repeats.
What leaders did — and didn’t
Council Member Yusef Salaam voted for dooring‑warning decals in taxis (Int 0193‑2024) and backed a transparency bill on pavement markings (Int 1160‑2025) (NYC Council – Legistar). He sponsored a pilot for high‑visibility pavement markings (Int 1154‑2024) (NYC Council – Legistar). He also co‑sponsored a resolution to curb repeat speeders (Res 0854‑2025) (NYC Council – Legistar).
The pattern persists. Afternoon injuries stack up. Crosswalk turns keep breaking bodies. The worst repeat speeders keep coming. As former DOT chief Polly Trottenberg put it about the families driving this work: “Families for Safe Streets is one of the most powerful advocacy forces I’ve ever seen in politics” (Families for Safe Streets).
The fixes that match the harm
Local: harden left turns at Lenox and the other repeat corners; add daylighting and leading pedestrian intervals on 8th Avenue and Saint Nicholas; target afternoon enforcement for failure to yield and distracted driving. These respond to what police already record at crash scenes here (NYC Open Data).
Citywide: use the power to lower speeds, and stop the worst repeat offenders. Our campaign calls for a default 20 MPH city speed and intelligent speed limiters for habitual speeders. The steps are laid out here.
It was mid‑afternoon on 125th when the boy went over the bars. The next decision is ours. Act now.
