Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Marine Park-Mill Basin-Bergen Beach?

Marine Park’s corners bleed. The fixes wait.

Marine Park’s corners bleed. The fixes wait.

Marine Park-Mill Basin-Bergen Beach: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025

Another driver. Same ending.

  • A 30‑year‑old motorcyclist died at Flatbush Ave and Avenue U just before midnight. Police records list unsafe speed. The other vehicle was a fire apparatus. The rider was ejected and killed NYC Open Data crash record.
  • A 53‑year‑old bicyclist suffered a head injury on Ohio Walk at E. 66th. The car’s right front bumper hit him. The driver had a permit. Police flagged distraction and inexperience NYC Open Data crash record.

On these blocks, people on foot and on bikes take the brunt: 100 pedestrians injured, 37 cyclists hurt since 2022 in this small area NYC Open Data.

Teachers open doors. Sirens follow. The injuries spike at 8 a.m., 2 p.m., and 5–6 p.m. The late night hurts too, at 11 p.m. NYC Open Data hourly distribution.

“Speed kills.” The numbers say the same.

Drivers rack up the hits. SUVs and cars account for the vast share of pedestrian injuries here NYC Open Data vehicle rollup.

Three corners. One fix.

  • Flatbush Ave has the body count. One death. Dozens hurt. It keeps moving fast NYC Open Data top intersections.
  • Avenue T rings with crashes and 53 injuries. A right‑turning sedan sent a passenger to the hospital at Flatbush and T crash link.
  • Pearson Street and Avenue U logged two serious injuries at one spot top intersections.

Concrete steps, not thoughts:

  • Daylight the crosswalks at Avenue T and on Flatbush. Cut the corners. Harden the turns. Give leading walk time. These tools exist citywide; they belong here NYC Open Data patterns.
  • Target the peak hours with enforcement on failure to yield and distraction. The crash clock tells you when hourly distribution.

Officials know what works — do they?

Albany gave the city power to set safer speeds. The law lets NYC lower residential limits. The city has begun 20‑mph zones, but a default 20 is still a choice not taken. Our own coverage explains how to push it now Take Action.

Repeat speeders do outsized harm. The Legislature is moving on speed limiters for the worst offenders. Senators advanced S4045 to require intelligent speed assistance for drivers with heavy violation records; Sen. Kevin Parker voted yes in committee on June 11 and 12, 2025 Open States. Advocates say a tiny slice of drivers cause a big share of deaths; the bill aims straight at them Take Action.

“Police are investigating,” the stories say. After a hit‑and‑run in Bushwick, “Police were looking … for the driver” who dragged a man more than 50 feet. “Criminal charges … were still pending” in another case. The pattern does not stop at any border Gothamist Gothamist.

What the numbers won’t forget

  • Since 2022 in this neighborhood, there have been 1,057 crashes, 626 injuries, and 2 deaths. Pedestrians: 100 hurt. Cyclists: 37 hurt. Serious injuries: 6 NYC Open Data rollups.
  • Injuries jumped year over year: 110 last YTD to 164 this YTD, with crashes up from 170 to 234 Period stats.

Two citywide moves would cut this down:

  • Lower the default speed limit to 20 mph. Slow the turns. Save the walker before the paint dries Take Action.
  • Pass and enforce speed limiters for repeat speeders, as in S4045. Parker voted yes in committee. Move it to law Open States.

Act. Don’t wait for the next siren. Start here: Take Action.
