Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 14?

Preventable Speeding in Precinct 14 School Zones

(since 2022)
Afternoon on West 37th. A bike. A truck. Midtown bleeds again.

Afternoon on West 37th. A bike. A truck. Midtown bleeds again.

Precinct 14: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025

Just before 5 PM on Sep 9, 2025, a person on a bike heading west at W 37th Street met the right front bumper of a Ford pickup. It happened near 232 W 37th. Police logged an injury to his leg. The truck kept going straight. So did he, until he couldn’t. source

This Week

  • Sep 8: At W 38th and 8th, a driver hit a woman crossing with the signal; police cited inattention and failure to yield. source
  • Sep 8: At W 38th and 7th, a box truck going south hit a 16‑year‑old on a bike; police listed “traffic control disregarded” and “driver inexperience.” source
  • Sep 6: At 8th and W 40th, a sedan going north hit a 32‑year‑old on a bike. source

Midtown’s ledger

Since Jan 1, 2022, in Precinct 14, police recorded 7 people killed and 1,703 injured, including 45 serious injuries. source

People walking bear the brunt here: 4 pedestrians killed and 603 injured. People on bikes: 1 killed and 381 injured. source

Police cite driver inattention and failure to yield again and again. Recorded failures to yield produced injuries at the crosswalk. Recorded inattention did too. source

Injuries peak in the evening rush. Police counted 126 injuries around 4 PM and 122 around 5 PM. Nights turn deadly too, with deaths logged around 10 PM and 11 PM. source

Corners we already know

Avenue of the Americas racks up harm. West 42nd Street does too. Police list both among the worst in this precinct. source

Pedestrians die under bigger fronts. Police data on pedestrian crashes in this precinct show fatalities tied to drivers in SUVs and trucks. source

What the precinct can do now

Hit the patterns. Target the evening hours and the corners that keep hurting people. Enforce failure‑to‑yield at crosswalks on Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Avenues. Focus trucks on safe routing and turning. Daylight the corners. Harden the turns. Give people a head start on the walk signal. source

Citywide fixes that reach this block

Lower speeds save lives. New York already has the tools on the table. A citywide 20 MPH default and electronic speed limiters for repeat camera violators would cut the risk borne by people walking and biking. See how to push those changes here.

“Families for Safe Streets is one of the most powerful advocacy forces I’ve ever seen in politics.” source

The line back to W 37th

A bike and a truck at day’s end. The numbers say it will happen again unless we act. Start with the corners we know. Then slow the whole city. Take one step now at Take Action.
