Mott Haven-Port Morris: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

The Bodies in the Road

A man on a bike, age 57, struck dead by an MTA bus turning at East 149th and Brook. The bus was empty. The street was not. The driver stayed. The cyclist did not get up. The cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. In the last twelve months, 2 people have died and 15 have been seriously injured on these streets. 414 were hurt.

A 17-year-old, crushed by a truck on East 138th. A 63-year-old cyclist, killed by an SUV at Brook and 142nd. A man, unconscious in the street after a road rage beating, run over by an FDNY ambulance that did not stop to help. The entire incident is under review.

The names change. The story does not.

The Numbers That Do Not Bleed

In three and a half years, 8 killed. 37 left with life-changing injuries. The rest—1,474 hurt—carry scars you do not see. Most victims are not in cars. They are walking, riding, or crossing. SUVs and cars did most of the damage. Trucks, buses, mopeds, bikes—they all left bodies behind.

The Leaders and the Silence

The city passed new laws. Sammy’s Law lets New York lower speed limits. The council can act. The mayor can act. The law is there. The deaths are still here. No local leader has stood in the street and said, “Enough.” No press release. No promise. Only the sound of engines and sirens.

What You Can Do

Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand protected bike lanes. Demand action, not words.

Every day you wait, someone else does not come home. Take action now.
