Precinct 26: Crashes pile up on 125th and the Parkway
Precinct 26: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 27, 2025
Precinct 26 covers Morningside Heights and Manhattanville. From 2022 through Aug 27, 2025, there were 1,307 crashes, leaving 663 injured and 5 dead in this small slice of Manhattan (NYC Open Data).
The toll on these blocks
- Cyclists took hit after hit: 141 injured and 5 seriously hurt. No cyclist deaths in this period, but the body count rose elsewhere: 4 vehicle occupants and 1 person on another motorized device were killed (NYC Open Data).
- On the Henry Hudson Parkway, crashes injured 89 and killed at least one driver, including a 66‑year‑old in 2022 (CrashID 4566438).
- West 125th Street shows another cluster, with 48 injuries logged on that corridor alone (NYC Open Data).
The worst hours stack up late and late-night. Injury peaks hit around 3 PM to 5 PM, then again after 10 PM, with another surge near 11 PM (hourly distribution).
Names behind the numbers
- Mar 27, 2023, a 28‑year‑old driver was killed near West 121st (CrashID 4616027).
- May 6, 2023, a 25‑year‑old on an e‑bike died on Convent Ave at West 131st; the dataset lists unsafe speed and passing too closely (CrashID 4627295).
- Oct 2, 2023, a 35‑year‑old woman died near West 126th (CrashID 4668437).
- Sep 21, 2022, a 66‑year‑old man died on the Henry Hudson Parkway (CrashID 4566438).
- Aug 15, 2025, a 62‑year‑old man died at West 127th (CrashID 4836666).
A toy is not in the road here. Just names and times, and the long line of next of kin.
How people are getting hurt
The dataset flags inattention/distraction in at least 17 injuries. Failure to yield and disregarding traffic control appear again and again. Improper turns and improper passing show up too. One bucket—“other”—covers 134 injuries we can’t read past the code (contributing factors).
Pedestrians were hit mostly by sedans and SUVs. The roll‑up shows sedans involved in 33 pedestrian injury cases and SUVs in 28 during this period. Trucks and buses show fewer pedestrian cases here, but the wounds tally all the same (vehicle rollup).
Two corridors keep bleeding
- Henry Hudson Parkway: fast traffic, hard crashes, 89 injuries and 1 death tied to this corridor in the period. The death came in a northbound Porsche in 2022 (CrashID 4566438).
- West 125th Street: at least 48 injuries tied to this corridor. Another 20 appear under “W 125 St,” showing the same stretch in a different label (top intersections).
At night, people get hauled into ambulances. Around 11 PM, injuries spike again. The pattern holds, month after month (hourly distribution).
Officials know speed kills
Across the city, speed took two lives in Chinatown in July when a stolen car flew off the Manhattan Bridge and smashed into people at Bowery and Canal. The city said it would “take immediate steps to fortify this intersection,” and narrow lanes, add barriers, and lower limits there (Gothamist; NY1). “We are taking immediate steps to fortify this intersection,” said the transportation commissioner (Gothamist). An advocate answered: “the vast majority of the corridor will remain deadly” (Gothamist).
This is not Canal Street. But the lesson crosses precinct lines. Speed leaves bodies.
Fix the blocks we can touch
Precinct 26 has clear moves:
- Daylight corners and add hardened left turns on 125th and Amsterdam/Broadway nodes where injuries cluster (NYC Open Data).
- Give walkers a head start with leading pedestrian intervals and enforce failure‑to‑yield at peak evening hours when injuries rise (hourly distribution).
- On Henry Hudson Parkway, calm the merge zones feeding neighborhood streets and post barrier protection at known hit areas tied to the on/off‑ramps (top intersections).
Citywide choices that stop the pattern
- Lower speeds citywide. The case is plain in the open data and in the city’s response after Chinatown. Narrow lanes, barriers, lower limits: the playbook is public (Gothamist; NY1).
- Stop the repeat speeders. Mandate intelligent speed assistance for vehicles that rack up violations, as outlined in the Stop Super Speeders push in our Take Action page.
It is late. The map says where to start. The clock says now.
