About these crash totals
Counts come from NYC police crash reports (NYC Open Data). We sum all crashes, injuries, and deaths for this area across the selected time window shown on the card. Injury severity follows the official definitions in the NYPD dataset.
- Crashes: number of police‑reported collisions (all road users).
- All injuries: total injured people in those crashes.
- Moderate / Serious: subcategories reported by officers (e.g., broken bones vs. life‑threatening trauma).
- Deaths: people who died due to a crash.
Notes: Police reports can be corrected after initial publication. Minor incidents without a police report are not included.

About this chart
We group pedestrian injuries and deaths by the vehicle type that struck them (as recorded in police reports). Use the dropdown to view totals, serious injuries, or deaths.
- Trucks/Buses, SUVs/Cars, Mopeds, and Bikes reflect the reporting categories in the crash dataset.
- Counts include people on foot only; crashes with no injured pedestrians are not shown here.
Notes: Police classification can change during investigations. Small categories may have year-to-year variance.
CloseAbout these numbers
These totals count vehicles with at least the shown number of camera‑issued speeding violations (school‑zone speed cameras) in any rolling 12‑month window in this district. Totals are summed from 2022 to the present for this geography.
- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.
About this list
This ranks vehicles by the number of NYC school‑zone speed‑camera violations they received in the last 12 months anywhere in the city. The smaller note shows how many times the same plate was caught in this area in the last 90 days.
Camera violations are issued by NYC DOT’s program. Counts reflect issued tickets and may omit dismissed or pending cases. Plate text is shown verbatim as recorded.

East Village: Nights of impact, years of harm
East Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 4, 2025
Just after noon on Aug 23, a taxi hit a cyclist on East 5th Street in the East Village (Aug 23, 2025).
Eight people are dead here since Jan 1, 2022. Another 658 are hurt. Those figures come from city crash records for this neighborhood through Sep 4, 2025 (NYC Open Data).
Where the street keeps breaking
Avenue D leads the list of harm, with deaths and injuries tied to that corridor (NYC Open Data). FDR Drive cuts its own line of loss. Avenue C and 1st Avenue follow close behind, each with repeated crashes in the record.
Evenings hit hard. Injuries peak at 8 PM and 9 PM, with 44 at each hour recorded in this dataset. Deaths strike at 7 PM, 10 PM, and 11 PM, alongside dozens more injuries (NYC Open Data).
Named factors show up again and again: inattention and failure to yield sit in the file; speed appears in specific cases, too (NYC Open Data). One record logs an unlicensed driver, unsafe speed, and a man killed in the crosswalk at Cooper Square in the early morning of Nov 27, 2022 (NYC Open Data).
The bodies behind the numbers
Pedestrians take most of the deaths here. Cyclists pile up injuries. Trucks and buses turn into walkers at corners. Taxis and private cars do the same, over and over. This is not one bad night; it is a file that does not close (NYC Open Data).
From 2022 through this week, serious injuries in this area reach nine, spread across modes and years. The toll does not spare the young or the old (NYC Open Data).
Fix the corners, slow the cars
The map points to corners like Avenue D and East 10th, Avenue C and East 10th. These need daylighting now, with no parking blocking sight lines. City lawmakers have a bill to ban parking at crosswalks; our Council Member Carlina Rivera is a co-sponsor (Int 1138-2024, timeline record).
Night harm calls for night action: targeted enforcement where injuries spike after dark; hardened turns on Avenue C and Avenue D; leading pedestrian intervals where walkers move first. The data flags heavy vehicles in the mix; turning controls and truck routing can cut those impacts (NYC Open Data).
Albany’s lever on the worst repeat drivers
There is a bill to stop the most dangerous pattern drivers. Senate bill S 4045 would require speed-limiting tech for anyone who racks up 11 points in 24 months or six speed/red-light camera tickets in a year. Our State Senator Brian Kavanagh voted yes in committee (timeline record; Open States). Our Assembly Member Harvey Epstein co-sponsors the Assembly companion A 2299 (timeline record).
Cameras work best when they stay on. The Legislature renewed NYC’s school-zone speed cameras through 2030; Senator Kavanagh voted yes in June (S 8344, timeline record; AMNY).
Slow it everywhere, save lives here
Lower, enforced speeds save lives. A citywide lower default, paired with speed limiters for repeat violators, would reach the corners where people keep getting hit. That is the path from the taxi on East 5th to fewer names in the file. If you live these streets, ask City Hall and Albany to move. Start here: Take Action.

SUV Left Turn Hits Pedestrian Crossing▸Jan 4 - A 21-year-old woman suffered abrasions and arm injuries after an SUV turning left struck her at a Manhattan intersection. The driver failed to yield and was distracted, colliding with the pedestrian crossing with the signal.
According to the police report, a 2018 Infiniti SUV traveling north on 1 Avenue was making a left turn near St Marks Place when it struck a 21-year-old female pedestrian crossing at the intersection with the signal. The pedestrian sustained abrasions and injuries to her elbow, lower arm, and hand but remained conscious. The report cites the driver's failure to yield right-of-way and driver inattention or distraction as contributing factors. The impact occurred at the vehicle's left front bumper, causing damage to that area. The pedestrian's crossing with the signal is noted but not listed as a contributing factor. The driver was licensed and operating the vehicle alone. This crash highlights the dangers posed by driver errors during turning maneuvers in busy urban intersections.
