Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 13?

Second Avenue Bleeds—City Leaders Stall as Cyclists Fall
Precinct 13: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 31, 2025
Blood on Second Avenue
Just last Tuesday, a 65-year-old man rode his e-bike down Second Avenue. A 21-year-old, unlicensed driver in a Nissan Rogue struck him and left him bleeding in the street. The cyclist suffered severe head trauma. Paramedics found him unconscious, performed CPR on the pavement, and rushed him to Bellevue in critical condition. The driver fled. Police arrested him two hours later. He faces charges for leaving the scene and driving without a license. The red light on the crumpled e-bike kept flashing after the crash, as reported by Streetsblog NYC and West Side Spirit.
The Toll: Death and Injury, Year After Year
In the last twelve months, 2 people died and 12 suffered serious injuries in Precinct 13. There were 399 injuries in 727 crashes. Most victims were people on foot or on bikes. Cars, SUVs, and trucks did the worst damage. In three and a half years, seven people have died here. Over a thousand have been hurt. The numbers do not stop. They only climb.
Leadership: Promises and Pressure
Local leaders talk about safety. But the streets stay the same. Council Member Christopher Marte called out the city for “ongoing neglect” after a deadly crash nearby. The sister of a cyclist killed on his way to Coney Island demanded action: “It is time for the city to take action.” The police have the power to enforce speed limits, ticket reckless drivers, and target crash hotspots. They know where the bodies fall. They know Second Avenue. They know the bridge. They know the corners where people die.
What Now: No More Waiting
Every day without action is another day of blood on the street. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand speed enforcement. Demand safer crossings. Demand that the police in Precinct 13 use every tool they have. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. Take action now.

City Eyes Overhaul For 14th Street▸City, BIDs, and agencies plan a $3 million study to reshape 14th Street. The goal: safer space for walkers, cyclists, and buses. The busway may become permanent. Cars lose ground. Change moves slow.
New York Magazine - Curbed (2025-07-29) reports city officials and business groups will fund a $3 million, two-year study to redesign 14th Street. The plan aims for a 'complete street'—space for pedestrians, cyclists, transit, and limited cars.

The busway, which restricts cars, may become permanent. No crash or injury data is cited, but the focus is on systemic street changes, not individual driver actions.
