Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 18?

Preventable Speeding in Precinct 18 School Zones

(since 2022)
Precinct 18: Two Women Down on W 54th. The Pattern Does Not Stop.

Precinct 18: Two Women Down on W 54th. The Pattern Does Not Stop.

Precinct 18: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 22, 2025

Just after midday on Oct 12, 2025, near W 54 Street, the driver of a taxi going east hit two women walking, ages 67 and 79. Both were hurt. NYC Open Data

This Week

  • Oct 12: A man riding with a passenger on a bike hit a parked sedan by 700 5 Avenue; both on the bike were injured. NYC Open Data
  • Oct 11: A driver in a 2019 Infiniti hit a 26‑year‑old man on a bike at Broadway and W 53 Street; the cyclist suffered head injuries. NYC Open Data
  • Sept 30: A 2017 box‑truck driver, recorded as distracted, hit a 54‑year‑old man on W 53 Street; the pedestrian had crush injuries. NYC Open Data

The count in this precinct

Since Jan 1, 2022, in Precinct 18, 14 people have been killed and 1,982 injured in traffic crashes. Pedestrians account for 6 of the dead and 581 of the injured; people on bikes, 4 dead and 503 injured. NYC Open Data

Year‑to‑date, crashes are essentially flat while deaths have climbed: 752 crashes this year vs. 754 at this point last year; deaths up from 4 to 6. Serious injuries rose from 10 to 14. NYC Open Data

Where it keeps happening

W 51 Street leads the roll call with 3 deaths and 13 injuries since 2022. West 57 Street has 71 injuries. Both demand fixes. NYC Open Data

Police reports in this precinct record failure to yield by drivers in crashes that injured 33 people, and improper turns tied to injuries as well. These are routine, repeatable mistakes with heavy costs. NYC Open Data

Trucks and buses are part of the harm profile here. They were involved in 55 pedestrian injury cases in this period. The mass wins every time. NYC Open Data

The danger spikes through the afternoon. From 2 PM to 7 PM, injuries mount, and deaths appear across these hours, including at 3 PM, 4 PM, 5 PM, and 7 PM. These are crowded streets. People on foot pay. NYC Open Data

The responsibility is local — and solvable

Precinct cops can target the corners that hurt most. Harden turns. Enforce yields. Ticket the rush. On the corridors with repeat injuries — W 51 Street, West 57 Street — daylight sight lines, add lead pedestrian intervals, and slow the turns. On truck routes, manage the loads and the lanes.

Citywide, two steps would cut the risk here and everywhere: lower the default speed limit and stop repeat speeders with mandatory limiters. Both are on the table. The city has the tools and a path forward. Details and call scripts are here.

The women hit on W 54 Street did not choose this. None of the victims do. The fixes are known. The clock is running. NYC Open Data

Take one minute. Tell your council member and the mayor to back slower speeds citywide, and tell Albany to rein in the worst repeat offenders. Start here.
