Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 14?

Preventable Speeding in Precinct 14 School Zones

(since 2022)
Midtown’s daily toll on foot and bike

Midtown’s daily toll on foot and bike

Precinct 14: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 15, 2025

Just after midday on Oct 10, 2025, a taxi driver hit an 18‑year‑old on a bike on Park Avenue South near 425. Police recorded the driver’s inattention and the rider’s ejection. The teenager survived with leg injuries (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • Oct 9: a driver opened into a man on an e‑bike outside 516 9th Avenue; he was ejected and fractured his leg (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 6: a taxi driver going straight hit a person crossing with the signal at W 44 St and 9th Avenue; police cited failure to yield by the driver (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 5: a driver in an SUV hit a 25‑year‑old on an e‑bike at W 42 St and Broadway; police recorded driver distraction (NYC Open Data).

The pattern doesn’t let up

Since Jan 1, 2022, in Precinct 14 there have been 3,387 crashes, 1,740 people injured, and 8 people killed. Forty‑five were seriously hurt (NYC Open Data). Pedestrians bear the brunt: 5 deaths and 622 injuries. People on bikes: 1 death and 390 injuries. Heavy vehicles are part of the story too: trucks and buses were involved in 58 pedestrian injury incidents, with 3 pedestrian deaths citywide in this precinct’s rollup (NYC Open Data).

Late afternoons hit hard. Injuries peak around 4 PM to 5 PM with 130 and 124 hurt in those hours across the period. Nights don’t spare anyone; deaths also mark the 10 PM and 11 PM hours (NYC Open Data).

Known corners, familiar blood

Avenue of the Americas. West 42nd Street. These are among the top corridors for harm here, with repeated injuries and deaths tallied over the period (NYC Open Data). Police coding points to named failures we can fix: driver inattention and distraction; failure to yield; unsafe speed; running lights; and improper passes (NYC Open Data).

On Sep 24, 2025, a Midtown hit‑and‑run near Bryant Park left a 50‑year‑old visitor dead. “When a German tourist is decapitated in Midtown by a reckless driver with a fake plate, you simply have to scream,” wrote Streetsblog the next day (Streetsblog).

Precinct 14 knows where to start

Target the rush hours. Enforce yielding at crosswalks on West 42nd Street and along Sixth Avenue. Run dooring and loading stings on 9th Avenue. Daylight corners. Add hardened turns and leading pedestrian intervals. Protect the bike approaches to Times Square and the Midtown core. Focus truck routing and loading on blocks where injuries stack up. These are basic moves; the data point you to them (NYC Open Data).

The city’s tools are on the shelf

Citywide, lower speeds save lives. Our own data show speed and failure to yield in the mix here. Albany already renewed 24/7 school‑zone speed cameras through 2030, and NYC can use them. The next step is to stop the worst repeat offenders: the proposed Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would force chronic violators to use devices that keep their cars within the limit (Take Action).

Your representatives here are Council Member Erik D. Bottcher, Assembly Member Alex Bores, and State Senator Liz Krueger. The public record here does not list sponsorships. They can back this bill now. What gives?

Do one thing today

Ask City Hall to set safer speeds, and Albany to pass the limiter bill. It takes five minutes. Start here.
