Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Hunts Point?
Hunts Point Bleeds While City Hall Sleeps
Hunts Point: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 29, 2025
Blood on the Sidewalks: Recent Crashes in Hunts Point
The streets of Hunts Point do not forgive. In the last twelve months, two people have died and 292 have been injured in 430 crashes (NYC Open Data). Most were on foot or in cars. Some were children. Some were old. The numbers do not flinch. They do not lie.
Just days ago, a driver ran a red light at Hunts Point Avenue and Bruckner Boulevard. His car jumped the curb. Three men on the sidewalk were hit. One is still fighting for his life. The driver ran but did not get far. Police charged him with vehicular assault and reckless endangerment. “Jenkins’ vehicle struck three pedestrians on the sidewalk, then hit a Chevy Equinox,” police said. The street was left marked by blood and broken glass.
This is not rare. In April, a box truck killed a 61-year-old man on Oak Point Avenue. Last summer, a 29-year-old cyclist was crushed by a turning dump truck on Barry Street. The dead do not speak. Their absence is the only proof left.
Who Pays, Who Acts
Most injuries to pedestrians here come from cars, SUVs, and trucks. In three years, these vehicles killed two and hurt over 80 more. Not one death came from a bike or moped (NYC Open Data).
Local leaders have taken some steps. Council Member Rafael Salamanca, Jr. co-sponsored bills to fix NYCHA sidewalks and tow unregistered vehicles—measures that could help. He also voted to legalize jaywalking, erasing a law used to blame the dead instead of the driver. But too often, action is slow. Bills to tow unregistered cars and target fake plates have stalled. The streets wait. People keep dying.
The Cost of Delay
Every crash is preventable. Every delay is a choice. “The unlicensed 28-year-old driver is facing multiple counts of vehicular assault following the 9:45 p.m. crash,” police said. The law caught up, but not before the car did.
What Now: No More Waiting
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand safer streets. Ask for lower speed limits, protected crossings, and real enforcement. Do not let another name become a number. The dead cannot wait. Neither should you.
