Door opens. Rider falls. City looks away.

New York City: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 2, 2025

About 6:40 PM on Oct 27, 2025, on 108th St at 38th Ave in Corona, a BMW driver opened a door and hit a Citi Bike rider. He was thrown and died. Streetsblog and the Daily News reported the dooring; city data show the bicyclist was ejected and killed at that corner. NYC Open Data

He was one of 1,166 people killed on New York City streets since Jan 1, 2022. Another 205,690 were injured. NYC Open Data

Four lives in four days

This week was a chain of endings:

  • On Oct 27 in Corona, a driver opened a car door into a northbound cyclist on 108th St near 38th Ave. He died. Streetsblog
  • On Oct 24 at Park Ave and E 63rd St, a driver turning left hit a 28-year-old man who police recorded as crossing with the signal. He died. NYC Open Data
  • On Oct 23 at W 86th St and Columbus Ave, a bus driver going straight hit an 83-year-old man in the crosswalk; police recorded failure to yield by the driver. He died. NYC Open Data
  • On Oct 22 at 130th St and 90th Ave, a driver going straight hit a 55-year-old man outside an intersection. He died. NYC Open Data

The count keeps climbing

In the past 12 months, 284 people were killed and 52,707 were injured in 84,159 crashes citywide. NYC Open Data

The toll crosses borough lines. A woman riding a bike was killed on Leonard St at Meserole St in Brooklyn. NYC Open Data An 89-year-old woman was killed near Neptune Ave and W 6th St. NYC Open Data

This is not fate. It is speed and steel meeting flesh, again and again. Sedan. SUV. Bus. The forms change; the ending is the same.

What would actually stop this?

Lower speeds save lives. Albany passed Sammy’s Law, and the city now has power to set safer limits. Our streets don’t need another study; they need a 20 MPH default and design to match. See how to push it, and who to call, here.

A tiny share of drivers cause outsized harm. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force chronic offenders to install speed limiters after repeated camera tickets or DMV points. One step that matches the scale of the risk. Details and call scripts are here.

The cyclist in Corona did not die in a vacuum. Neither did the man in the Park Ave crosswalk. The list goes on until someone slows the cars and reins in the worst drivers. Start with the phone call. Take action.

Frequently Asked Questions

How were these numbers calculated?
We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets: Crashes (h9gi-nx95), Persons (f55k-p6yu), and Vehicles (bm4k-52h4). We filtered for New York City, from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-02. Deaths and injuries come from the Persons table (injury_severity = 5 for deaths; injury_severity in 1–4 for injuries). Crash totals come from the Crashes table. We extracted the data on Nov 2, 2025. You can reproduce citywide death counts for that window in the Persons dataset here.
Why highlight the past month?
To show how the pattern persists. In late October alone, four people walking or biking were killed at Park Ave and E 63rd St, W 86th St and Columbus Ave, 130th St and 90th Ave, and 108th St and 38th Ave. These details come from NYC Open Data and local reporting linked above.
What can reduce deaths right now?
Lower speeds and accountability. New York City can set a 20 MPH default under Sammy’s Law, and Albany can pass the Stop Super Speeders Act to force chronic offenders to use speed limiters. Both actions are outlined with contacts and scripts on our page here.
What is CrashCount?
We’re a tool for helping hold local politicians and other actors accountable for their failure to protect you when you’re walking or cycling in NYC. We update our site constantly to provide you with up to date information on what’s happening in your neighborhood.
