Gravesend Bleeds: Four Dead, Hundreds Hurt, and Still No Safe Streets
Gravesend (West): Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 16, 2025
The Slow Grind of Loss
In Gravesend (West), the numbers do not tell the whole story. But they do not lie. Four people are dead. Six more are seriously injured. Seven hundred twenty-five have been hurt since 2022. The dead are not numbers. They are neighbors, children, elders. One was 95, struck at the intersection of Cropsey and 24th. Another, a 2-year-old girl, was hit crossing with the signal. She survived; the woman with her did not. NYC Open Data
Cars and trucks did most of the damage. SUVs and sedans killed two. Trucks killed another. Bikes and mopeds hurt, but did not kill. The street is not safe for the old, the young, or anyone in between.
The Recent Wounds
The pain is fresh. In the last year, one person died, two were seriously hurt, and 224 were injured. Children are not spared. Thirty-two under 18 were hurt. The numbers rise, year after year. Crashes are up 15% over last year. Injuries up 23%.
A 66-year-old woman was killed crossing with the light on Bath Avenue. A 65-year-old man died at Avenue P. A 20-year-old on an e-bike was killed on 86th Street. The pattern is plain. The street is a gauntlet.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Assembly Member William Colton voted to extend school speed zones. This helps. State Senator Steve Chan voted yes to curb repeat speeders, but also voted no on safer school speed zones. The record is mixed. The danger remains.
The city passed bills to clear abandoned vehicles and mark pavement. These are steps, not leaps. No law has yet forced the street to yield to the most vulnerable.
The Voices Left Behind
“It’s devastating. It’s affecting everyone in our family, especially (Ruiz’s) mom. Maddy was her only daughter,” said Ruiz’s sister-in-law. The grief is not abstract. It is a mother with no daughter. It is a family with no answer.
“I have no idea why he was doing donuts in the parking lot,” said Griselda Caraballo. The question hangs in the air. The street is silent.
What Must Be Done
This is not fate. It is policy. Call your council member. Call your assembly member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real protection for those who walk and ride. Every day of delay is another day of loss.
