East New York Bleeds: Lives Lost While City Delays
East New York (North): Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 6, 2025
The Numbers Do Not Lie
In East New York (North), the street is a wound that will not close. In the last twelve months, 373 people were hurt in crashes. Five were left with serious injuries. One did not survive. The dead do not get a second chance. The injured carry scars the city cannot count.
Children are not spared. In the past year, 52 people under 18 were hurt. One child, not yet old enough for school, was left semiconscious with wounds across his body after a van hit him in the street. There is no comfort in the numbers. There is only the next crash.
The Faces Behind the Numbers
On January 24, Janet Henriquez, 57, was crossing Blake Avenue at Pennsylvania Avenue. A Nissan Pathfinder turned left and struck her. She died at the hospital. The driver stayed at the scene. Three months later, police charged her with failure to yield and failure to exercise due care. “She was arrested Wednesday following a police investigation, and was charged with failure to yield to a pedestrian, and failure to exercise due care, cops said.”
In May, a 55-year-old man was killed crossing Fulton Street. The driver fled. The man died at the hospital. The car kept going. “Investigators say a burgundy Ford Explorer with Pennsylvania license plates struck and killed the 55-year-old man at the corner of Fulton Street and Washington Avenue in Cypress Hills as he crossed the street.”
These are not accidents. They are the result of choices.
Leadership: Promises and Silence
The city has tools. Speed cameras. Lower speed limits. New laws. But the pace is slow. The law is clear. The street is not. Drivers who kill often face only minor charges, months after the fact. The city says it is committed to Vision Zero. The bodies say otherwise.
Every day without action is another day of blood on the street.
What You Can Do
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand safer streets. Demand lower speed limits. Demand real enforcement. Demand that every child, every elder, every neighbor can cross the street and come home alive. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
