Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 19?
Blood on York Avenue: City Leaders Look Away, Drivers Keep Killing
Precinct 19: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Toll on Our Streets
In Precinct 19, violence comes daily—in the crosswalk, at the curb, on the way to work. In the last twelve months, three people were killed and 538 were injured in crashes here. Twelve suffered serious injuries.
The dead are not numbers. A 71-year-old woman, crossing York Avenue with the signal, was struck and killed by an SUV. The cause: driver inattention. She never made it to the other side, according to NYC Open Data.
A 30-year-old woman died at the intersection of East 87th and York. She bled out on the street. The cars kept moving, as NYC Open Data shows.
Just last week, eight people were hurt when a car and SUV crashed into scaffolding on Madison Avenue. “Eight people were hurt in the crash. All of the injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening,” reported ABC7. No word on charges. No word on why.
Patterns That Don’t Change
The faces change. The story does not. SUVs and cars do the most harm—four killed, 288 injured, 12 seriously. Trucks and buses killed two, injured 17. Motorcycles, mopeds, and bikes add to the toll.
A 65-year-old e-bike rider was left with a fractured skull on Second Avenue. The driver fled. Later, he told police he ran because he had no license. “He now faces charges of leaving the scene of an accident that caused serious injury and driving without a license,” reported West Side Spirit.
Leadership: Promises and Silence
The city has tools. The precinct has power. They can enforce speed limits, ticket reckless drivers, target crash hotspots. But the numbers do not move. Crashes are up 37% over last year. Injuries up 31%. Deaths have tripled.
No new statements from local leaders. No new policies announced. The silence is its own answer.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. It is policy. Every crash is a choice made by those in power to let the street stay deadly. The police can act. The council can act. The mayor can act. But they will not move unless you make them.
Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand enforcement. Demand safer streets.
Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
