East Harlem Bleeds: How Many More Lives Before Action?

East Harlem (South): Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 12, 2025

Blood on the Asphalt

No one is safe in East Harlem (South). Since 2022, six people have died in crashes here. Thirteen more suffered injuries so severe they may never walk the same. In the last year alone, two lives ended on these streets. Pedestrians, cyclists, children—none are spared.

Just weeks ago, a sedan struck an e-bike on East 106th Street. Days before, a bus hit a cyclist on Fifth Avenue. The numbers pile up: 946 injured, 1,895 crashes since 2022. Each number is a body, a family, a future cut short.

The Usual Weapons: Cars, Trucks, and More

Cars and SUVs did the most harm: 1 killed, 149 injured. Trucks and buses killed another, injuring 8 more. Motorcycles and mopeds left one dead, eight hurt. Even bikes took a life and left a mark—one dead, 25 injured. The street does not care what you ride or drive. It only takes.

Words from the Wreckage

After a crash, the street is silent. The record is not. “Police said a Mercedes sedan driver struck two men on scooters, who then suffered fatal injuries” reported CBS New York. Another report is blunt: “The two men who died were ejected from mopeds during the crash, which also involved two cars” according to Gothamist.

Leaders: Votes and Silence

Council Member Diana Ayala has voted for bills to clear abandoned vehicles and improve street markings. She co-sponsored a bill to ban parking near crosswalks, but it sits in committee. Senator Jose Serrano voted yes on bills to extend school speed zones and curb repeat speeders. The work is not done. The carnage continues.

What Now?

This is not fate. This is policy. Call Council Member Ayala. Call Senator Serrano. Tell them: no more delays. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand daylight at every crosswalk. Demand action before another name becomes a number.

Do not wait for the next siren. Act now.
