Morton and Seventh: a woman in the crosswalk, and a city that still won’t slow down
West Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 12, 2025
Just after 8:30 AM on Nov 6, 2025, at Morton Street and Seventh Avenue South, a driver in a 2020 GMC SUV turned left and hit a 27‑year‑old woman in a marked crosswalk. Police recorded “Traffic Control Disregarded” by the driver. She died at the scene (NYC Open Data).
She was one of 5 people killed on West Village streets since 2022, alongside 456 injured and 8 seriously hurt (NYC Open Data). This year, crashes rose to 240, up 6.7% from last year’s 225. Injuries climbed to 120, up 37.9%. Serious injuries went from 1 to 3 (NYC Open Data).
Where the street keeps breaking
Police logs point to steady harm at Hudson Street, West 14th Street, Seventh Avenue South, and Bleecker Street. Each shows double‑digit injuries since 2022 (NYC Open Data).
Injuries spike around 5 PM, when people flood the crossings and drivers push through. Deaths cluster in the evening and late night hours (NYC Open Data). Police repeatedly record driver inattention and failure to yield at these corners (NYC Open Data).
People on foot bear the brunt. Since 2022, 3 pedestrians were killed here. Pedestrian injuries most often involve sedans and SUVs — 34 tied to sedans and 20 to SUVs — with taxis close behind (NYC Open Data).
The pattern is known. The fixes are known.
At Morton and Seventh, police say the driver disregarded traffic control before turning into the crosswalk (NYC Open Data). It rhymes with other deaths here: left turns into people, missed yields, rushed moves at busy hours. These are design and speed problems.
Simple steps cut these crashes: daylight corners; give walkers a head start; harden left turns; slow the default speed. The city already has the tools. Albany renewed 24/7 school‑zone speed cameras through 2030 (AMNY). The Council and DOT can set safer speeds under Sammy’s Law; our neighbors need them on these blocks now. See how to press them today (CrashCount: Take Action).
Who is acting — and who isn’t
Two state levers can stop repeat harm. The Senate’s Stop Super Speeders Act (S 4045) would force habitual speeders to use speed limiters. State Senator Brian Kavanagh (SD 27) voted yes in committee (Open States). In the Assembly, Deborah Glick (AD 66) co‑sponsored the companion measure earlier this year and separately sponsored the bill to renew speed‑camera authority (A 8787) (Open States).
Here at home, Council Member Erik Bottcher (District 3) has backed curb‑safety bills, including a measure to ban parking near crosswalks to open sight lines (Intro 1138‑2024) — the kind of fix Morton and Seventh needed before Nov 6 (timeline record).
Slow the turn, save the life
One woman in a crosswalk. One driver who didn’t stop. The same corners keep hurting people. We don’t need new lessons. We need lower speeds, hardened turns, and enforcement that bites. Then maybe Morton Street is just a quiet morning again.
Take one step now: tell City Hall and Albany to slow our streets and rein in repeat speeders (CrashCount: Take Action).

Aug 13 - Two runaway horses crashed into pedicabs. A cab driver’s wrist broke. The Conservancy calls for a ban. Heavy carriages scar pavement. Manure stains the drives. Safety for all hangs in the balance.
West Side Spirit (2025-08-13) reports the Central Park Conservancy urged city leaders to ban horse-drawn carriages, citing public safety. Their letter referenced two May incidents: a bolting horse and a crash injuring a pedicab driver. CEO Elizabeth W. Smith wrote, 'Banning horse carriages has become a matter of public health and safety for Park visitors.' The Conservancy also noted damage to park infrastructure and daily manure left behind. The push supports Ryder’s Law, a City Council bill named after a collapsed horse. The article highlights ongoing debate and recent injuries, underscoring risks to vulnerable park users.
