Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Crown Heights (South)?
Six Dead in Crown Heights—And Politicians Still Look Away
Crown Heights (South): Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 18, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Silence
In Crown Heights (South), the numbers do not lie. Six people are dead. Nine more are seriously injured. Since 2022, there have been over 1,500 crashes and more than 900 injuries. The dead include a child, an elder, and too many whose names are now only numbers in a file. NYC Open Data
The violence is relentless. SUVs and cars lead the body count—three deaths, 159 injuries. Trucks and buses add more. Bikes and mopeds leave their own scars. Pedestrians are struck at intersections, on crosswalks, on the open street. No one is spared.
The Faces Behind the Numbers
A 101-year-old woman was killed crossing with the signal. The driver was unlicensed. She died at the intersection, her right of way ignored. NYC Open Data
A child, just eight, was hit by an SUV. The record says “view obstructed.” The record does not say who waited at the hospital, or who did not come home.
A man, 53, was killed by a distracted driver. The crash report lists “inattention.” The street remembers nothing but the sound.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
State Senator Zellnor Myrie talks about safer streets. He rode a bike with a reporter and said, “We should be making this as easy as possible and as safe as possible for as many people as possible.”
But when it mattered, Myrie missed key committee votes on bills to curb repeat speeders and extend school speed zones. The bills passed without him. The danger remains.
Council Member Crystal Hudson, Assembly Member Brian Cunningham: No recent votes or public stands on record. The silence is heavy.
What Comes Next: No More Waiting
Every crash is preventable. Every death is a policy failure. The city has the power to lower speed limits, redesign streets, and force out repeat offenders. But power unused is as deadly as a speeding car.
Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand action. Tell them: No more deaths. No more silence. Fix the streets now.

Myrie Supports NY Law Holding Gun Industry Accountable▸A subway shooting survivor sues Glock under a new state law. The law cracks open gun industry immunity. State Sen. Zellnor Myrie, sponsor, says litigation forces change. The law aims to save lives, not target legal owners. Industry fights back in court.
On June 14, 2022, State Sen. Zellnor Myrie sponsored a New York law enabling lawsuits against gun manufacturers for dangerous marketing or sales practices. The law, recently upheld in court, lets victims like Ilene Steur—injured in the Sunset Park subway shooting—sue Glock. The bill challenges federal PLCAA protections that shield gun companies. Myrie says, 'Bad actions by industries...are often forced to change their practices by way of litigation.' He insists, 'This isn’t about anyone coming after your legally possessed guns...The guns are killing my people.' The law is not about targeting legal gun owners, but about holding companies accountable when their products fuel violence. Gun industry groups are fighting the law, but for now, it stands. Myrie’s push is clear: force the industry to act or get out of New York.

Myrie Supports NY Law Holding Gun Industry Accountable▸A subway shooting survivor sues Glock under a new state law. The law cracks open gun industry immunity. State Sen. Zellnor Myrie, sponsor, says litigation forces change. The law aims to save lives, not target legal owners. Industry fights back in court.
On June 14, 2022, State Sen. Zellnor Myrie sponsored a New York law enabling lawsuits against gun manufacturers for dangerous marketing or sales practices. The law, recently upheld in court, lets victims like Ilene Steur—injured in the Sunset Park subway shooting—sue Glock. The bill challenges federal PLCAA protections that shield gun companies. Myrie says, 'Bad actions by industries...are often forced to change their practices by way of litigation.' He insists, 'This isn’t about anyone coming after your legally possessed guns...The guns are killing my people.' The law is not about targeting legal gun owners, but about holding companies accountable when their products fuel violence. Gun industry groups are fighting the law, but for now, it stands. Myrie’s push is clear: force the industry to act or get out of New York.

The law, recently upheld in court, lets victims like Ilene Steur—injured in the Sunset Park subway shooting—sue Glock. The bill challenges federal PLCAA protections that shield gun companies. Myrie says, 'Bad actions by industries...are often forced to change their practices by way of litigation.' He insists, 'This isn’t about anyone coming after your legally possessed guns...The guns are killing my people.' The law is not about targeting legal gun owners, but about holding companies accountable when their products fuel violence. Gun industry groups are fighting the law, but for now, it stands. Myrie’s push is clear: force the industry to act or get out of New York.

On June 30, 2022, State Senator Zellnor Myrie testified at an NYPD disciplinary hearing for Officer Michael Kovalik, a member of the Strategic Response Group. The hearing followed a Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) investigation, which found Kovalik abused his authority by threatening Myrie and others with pepper spray during a protest on May 29, 2020. The matter centered on 'excessive use of force with department-issued bikes' and the officer's actions at a protest outside Barclays Center after George Floyd's murder. Myrie, detained with zip ties, said, 'I felt what felt like bike tires on my back and on my arms.' He described lasting trauma from the incident. The CCRB prosecutor, Andre Applewhite, argued video evidence confirmed the threats. Myrie and another lawmaker have filed a federal lawsuit against the NYPD. The case highlights the dangers faced by peaceful protesters and the use of police bicycles as tools of force.

Myrie Supports NY Law Holding Gun Industry Accountable▸A subway shooting survivor sues Glock under a new state law. The law cracks open gun industry immunity. State Sen.

On June 14, 2022, State Sen. Zellnor Myrie sponsored a New York law enabling lawsuits against gun manufacturers for dangerous marketing or sales practices. The law, recently upheld in court, lets victims like Ilene Steur—injured in the Sunset Park subway shooting—sue Glock. The bill challenges federal PLCAA protections that shield gun companies. Myrie says, 'Bad actions by industries...are often forced to change their practices by way of litigation.' He insists, 'This isn’t about anyone coming after your legally possessed guns...The guns are killing my people.' The law is not about targeting legal gun owners, but about holding companies accountable when their products fuel violence. Gun industry groups are fighting the law, but for now, it stands. Myrie’s push is clear: force the industry to act or get out of New York.

A female pedestrian crossing with the signal was struck by a northbound SUV making a left turn on Troy Avenue in Brooklyn. Both the pedestrian and the female driver suffered injuries. Limited view and driver distraction contributed to the crash.
According to the police report, a 41-year-old female driver in a 2007 Acura SUV was making a left turn on Troy Avenue when she struck a female pedestrian crossing with the signal at the intersection.

The report lists driver errors including 'Driver Inattention/Distraction' and 'View Obstructed/Limited' as contributing factors. The pedestrian was not at fault and was crossing legally.

Myrie Supports NY Law Holding Gun Industry Accountable▸A subway shooting survivor sues Glock under a new state law. The law cracks open gun industry immunity. State Sen. Zellnor Myrie, sponsor, says litigation forces change. The law aims to save lives, not target legal owners. Industry fights back in court.
On June 14, 2022, State Sen. Zellnor Myrie sponsored a New York law enabling lawsuits against gun manufacturers for dangerous marketing or sales practices. The law, recently upheld in court, lets victims like Ilene Steur—injured in the Sunset Park subway shooting—sue Glock. The bill challenges federal PLCAA protections that shield gun companies. Myrie says, 'Bad actions by industries...are often forced to change their practices by way of litigation.' He insists, 'This isn’t about anyone coming after your legally possessed guns...The guns are killing my people.' The law is not about targeting legal gun owners, but about holding companies accountable when their products fuel violence. Gun industry groups are fighting the law, but for now, it stands. Myrie’s push is clear: force the industry to act or get out of New York.

A 8936Myrie votes yes to require safer complete street designs, improving safety.▸Albany passed A 8936. Cities get more state cash if they build complete streets. Lawmakers want safer roads. The bill sailed through both chambers. Money now follows safety.
