Night is the hazard. Injuries stack up at 10 p.m. (35), 9 p.m. (40), 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. (40), and 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. again at 22:00 (51). Deaths hit at 22:00 (two) and 23:00 (one). Hourly distribution.
The city’s own factors list “unsafe speed,” “failure to yield,” and “inattention” alongside a big bucket of “other.” Speed still shows up, with injuries and a serious injury tied to it. Factors.
What officials say they know
After a stolen car doing more than 100 mph killed two people at Canal and Bowery, the transportation chief said, “we are taking immediate steps to fortify this intersection.” Gothamist. NY1 reported the same plan for upgrades after the July 19 crash. NY1.
An advocate said of Canal Street, “even after these changes, the vast majority of the corridor will remain deadly.” Gothamist.
Three corners. One fix.
Daylight the crossings on Amsterdam and West 145th. Harden the turns. Give walkers lead time. The night numbers demand it. Hourly data.
Slow Henry Hudson Parkway’s slip roads where they meet neighborhood streets. Protect the bike approaches to 155th Street and St. Nicholas.
Target the late‑night hours for enforcement on speed and failure to yield.
Officials know what works — do they?
City leaders are moving redesigns elsewhere. A $3 million plan aims to remake 14th Street “to improve the pedestrian experience.” NY1.
After Chinatown’s deaths, the city promised barriers, lane narrowing, and lower speeds at Bowery and Canal. Gothamist.
Citywide moves that would save lives here
- Lower speeds save lives. New York can lower residential limits. Advocates are pushing for a default 20 mph and stronger tools against repeat speeders. Read how to press your reps and the mayor on these changes in our Take Action guide.
This is not random. It is routine. The tape goes up. The stain fades. The corner stays the same. Until someone changes it.

NYPD Pursuit Ends In Fatal Crash▸Apr 27 - Francisco Guzman Parra died in a burning car after a police chase in Inwood. Officers left the scene unreported. Family demands answers. Two investigations run. Streets stay dangerous. System failed to protect. The dead remain silent.
CBS New York reported on April 27, 2025, that Francisco Andres Guzman Parra, 31, died after crashing a stolen vehicle on Dyckman Street in Manhattan following an NYPD pursuit.

The officers remain on leave as both the NYPD and the New York attorney general's office investigate. The case raises questions about police pursuit protocols and reporting failures.
