Four dead in a week. The pattern doesn’t quit.

New York City: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 4, 2025

Just before dusk on Oct 27, 108 St at 38 Ave. A 26‑year‑old on an e‑bike went down and never got up (NYC Open Data).

This Month

  • Oct 24, Park Ave at E 63 St: a driver making a left hit a 28‑year‑old man who was crossing with the signal (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 23, W 86 St at Columbus Ave: an 83‑year‑old man in a marked crosswalk was hit by a bus driver going straight (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 22, 130 St at 90 Ave: a driver going straight hit a 55‑year‑old man outside an intersection (NYC Open Data).

The count doesn’t stop

He was one of 1,166 people killed on New York City streets since 2022, with 205,690 injured in that span (NYC Open Data). This year, citywide deaths stand at 242, compared to 254 at this point last year (NYC Open Data). Fewer funerals than last year is not the same as safety.

A small group does outsized harm

A tiny slice of motorists drives a big share of the grief. Researchers found that 1.5% of drivers are tied to 21% of pedestrian deaths. Rack up 16 camera tickets in a year and the risk of killing or seriously injuring doubles; 30+ tickets multiplies the risk fifty‑fold (Streetsblog). In April, a driver with 29 prior camera tickets ran a red and killed a mother and her two daughters in Midwood (NY Daily News).

Power sits on the table

Albany passed Sammy’s Law. New York City now has the power to set safer speed limits on local streets. The city can choose 20 MPH for residential streets. It hasn’t done it citywide (CrashCount Take Action).

There’s also a bill built for the worst repeat offenders: the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C). It would force anyone with 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year to use a speed‑limiting device, capped within 5 MPH of the limit (CrashCount Take Action).

What now

Lower speeds save lives. Curb the worst repeat offenders and the killings fall with them. City Hall and Albany have levers in hand. Pull them.

Take one step today. Tell your electeds to lower the default speed and pass speed limiters for habitual offenders. Start here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How were these numbers calculated?
We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets for crashes, injuries, and deaths from 2022-01-01 to 2025-11-04, citywide. We counted people killed and injured from the Persons table, and total crashes from the Crashes table. Figures in this article match the same date window used in our analysis as of Nov 3, 2025. You can open the datasets and apply the same date filters starting here.
Why highlight repeat speeders?
A small group of motorists is linked to a large share of deaths. Research cited by Streetsblog shows 1.5% of drivers are tied to 21% of pedestrian deaths, and accumulating 16–30+ automated tickets sharply raises the risk of killing or seriously injuring someone. See the findings here.
What policies could prevent these crashes?
Two tools are on the table: using Sammy’s Law authority to set a 20 MPH default on residential streets, and passing the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) to require speed limiters for repeat offenders. Details and contacts are listed on our action page at CrashCount.
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.
What can I do right now?
Call City Hall and your state legislators to demand a citywide 20 MPH default and speed limiters for habitual speeders. We provide scripts and contacts here.
