Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 17?

Blood in the Crosswalk, Silence in the Precinct
Precinct 17: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 28, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Bone
Three people have died on the streets of Precinct 17 since 2022. Over 1,362 have been injured. Eighteen suffered wounds so grave they may never heal. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care if you are young or old. They do not care if you are careful.
Just this May, a 61-year-old woman crossing with the signal at Lexington and East 37th was struck by a truck. She left the scene semiconscious, bleeding from the head (NYC Open Data). In July, a cyclist was crushed at E 41st and 1st Avenue. A sedan turned left. The cyclist’s leg was broken. The street was quiet again by morning.
The old and the young are not spared. Two people over 75 have died here in the last year. Seventeen children have been hurt. The city keeps counting.
The Police: Power and Silence
The police in Precinct 17 have the tools. They can ticket speeders. They can crack down on drivers who fail to yield. They can target the corners where blood pools most often. But the silence is heavy. The crashes keep coming.
The city’s leaders talk of Vision Zero. But the streets do not change. The numbers do not lie. “He was then struck by an unknown vehicle shortly thereafter, which did not remain on the scene,” police said after firefighter Matthew Goicochea was killed on the FDR Drive. The driver fled. The city moved on.
What Leaders Have Done—And Not Done
The council passed laws to lower speed limits. Albany renewed speed cameras. But the default speed is still too high. The most dangerous drivers keep their keys. The police can enforce the law. The council can demand more. But the dead do not vote.
“A lot of them with musculoskeletal injuries, neck pain, back pain,” said FDNY Deputy Assistant Chief Joseph Pataky after a bus crash at Port Authority left dozens hurt. The pain lingers. The ramp will not be fixed until 2032.
The Next Step Is Yours
This is not fate. These are not accidents. Every death is a choice made by someone in power. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand speed enforcement. Demand safer streets. Do not wait for the next siren.
