Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 13?
Another Body, Same Excuses: Blood on Precinct 13’s Streets
Precinct 13: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Bone
In Precinct 13, violence comes in pieces—one crash, one broken body at a time. Since 2022, seven people have died on these streets. Twenty-six suffered serious injuries. These are not just numbers. They are lives cut short, families left with empty chairs.
Just last week, a 65-year-old e-bike rider was struck on Second Avenue. The driver fled, leaving the man with head trauma. Police found the driver later. He told them he ran because he had no license. He now faces charges for leaving the scene and driving without a license. The cyclist was taken to Bellevue, alive but in critical condition. He told police he fled initially because he did not have a license.
On June 16, a bus crushed a pedestrian at 3rd Avenue and 28th Street. The man died at the intersection. The cause: driver inattention. No warning. No time to move. “Driver Inattention/Distraction” was listed as the cause.
Patterns That Do Not Change
In the last twelve months, 401 people have been hurt in 728 crashes here. Two did not survive. Fourteen were left with injuries that will not heal. The victims are not just numbers. They are young and old. Eighteen children were hurt. Eleven people over 65. The violence is steady. It does not care who you are.
Cars and SUVs do most of the harm. They killed three. Buses killed one. Taxis, bikes, mopeds, trucks—all play their part. But the pattern is clear. The bigger the vehicle, the greater the damage.
Leadership: Promises and Silence
The city has tools. The precinct can enforce speed limits, ticket reckless drivers, and watch the hotspots. But the blood keeps flowing. The law is there. The will is not. Residents see it. “No one stops at these stop signs. We see people go through these red lights all the time,” a woman named Nita said.
Local leaders have passed laws. They talk about Vision Zero. But the deaths do not stop. The injuries do not stop. The city can lower speed limits. It can redesign streets. It can act. Or it can wait for the next siren.
What Comes Next
Precinct 13 does not need more talk. It needs action. Residents must demand it. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Tell them to enforce the law, slow the cars, and protect the people who walk and ride. Do not wait for another name to become a number.
