Blood on the Streets

In Hunts Point, the road takes its due. Seven dead. Nearly a thousand injured. In the last three years, the numbers do not let up. Trucks, SUVs, sedans—steel against flesh. In the last twelve months alone, two people killed, 288 injured, one left with life-altering wounds (NYC crash data).

A 61-year-old man, crushed under a box truck on Coster Street. He died at Lincoln Hospital. The driver never saw him. A worker nearby said, “Nobody checks under their car [to see] if someone is there”. The street is not safe for the living or the lost.

The Usual Suspects

Trucks and SUVs kill. In Hunts Point, trucks and SUVs are the weapons most often used. In the period tracked, trucks and SUVs were involved in the majority of deaths and serious injuries to pedestrians. Cars, too, but trucks do the most damage. Bikes and mopeds do not kill here. The numbers are clear.

Children are not spared. In the last year, eleven kids were hurt on these streets. No one under eighteen has died, but the road does not care about age. It waits.

Leadership: Action or Excuse?

The city says it is working. New York passed Sammy’s Law. Speed limits can drop to 20 mph. But in Hunts Point, the pace of change is slow. No new protected bike lanes. No major redesigns. The silence from local leaders is louder than the sirens.

The city’s own numbers show what works: Speed cameras cut speeding by 63%. But cameras need Albany’s blessing to keep running. Every delay is a gamble with someone’s life.

What Now?

This is not fate. It is policy. Call your council member. Demand lower speed limits. Demand real street redesigns. Demand cameras that never go dark. Do not wait for another body in the road.

Take action now.
