Six Dead, Hundreds Broken—But the Street Never Changes
East New York-New Lots: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 11, 2025
The Blood on the Asphalt
In East New York–New Lots, the street is a wound that never heals. Since 2022, six people have died and 1,734 have been injured in crashes here. Thirteen of those injuries were so severe they changed lives forever (NYC Open Data).
Just last November, a 58-year-old woman was killed by an SUV on Pennsylvania Avenue. She was not at an intersection. She did not make it home (NYC Open Data).
A year before, a 43-year-old cyclist was crushed by a turning truck at Linden and Pennsylvania. The truck kept going. The cyclist did not (NYC Open Data).
The Pattern That Never Breaks
SUVs and sedans do the most harm. They killed three people and injured 235 more—pedestrians, cyclists, children. Trucks and buses left another sixteen with broken bodies. Motorcycles, mopeds, and bikes added to the toll (NYC Open Data).
The numbers do not lie. They do not comfort. They only count the dead and the hurt.
Leaders Speak, Streets Wait
Local leaders have taken some steps. Senator Roxanne Persaud voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat dangerous drivers to install speed-limiting devices. She also backed the extension of school speed zones. Council Member Chris Banks co-sponsored bills for safer bike share and clearer safety rules.
But the street does not care about bills that sit in committee. The street does not wait for another study. “I was very frustrated that nothing has been done in more than three years since Daniel Vidal was killed,” said Juan Ignacio Serra, after another death on Morgan Avenue.
The Call That Cannot Wait
Every day of delay is another day of blood. Call your council member. Call your state senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real street redesigns, not just more signs. Do not wait for the next name to be added to the list.
