Precinct 32: Nights of sirens, days of pain
Precinct 32: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- A 3‑year‑old, crossing with the signal at Lenox and West 135th, was struck by a left‑turning SUV and killed. Her mother was hurt. It was early evening. The police file is blunt: “Making Left Turn.” NYC Open Data crash ID 4739974.
- A 59‑year‑old on a bike was killed after a collision with a bus at Lenox and West 138th, just after midnight. NYC Open Data crash ID 4789910.
- A 42‑year‑old motorcyclist died on Harlem River Drive before dawn. The bike was “demolished.” NYC Open Data crash ID 4712117.
These are names somewhere. Here they are numbers.
Harlem’s 32nd Precinct has logged 2,005 crashes, 4 deaths, and 1,078 injuries since 2022. Pedestrians: 221 hurt, 1 killed. Cyclists: 164 hurt, 1 killed. NYC Open Data.
Three corners. One fix.
Pain clusters where the lanes run wide and fast. 8th Avenue leads our list with 89 injuries and 3 serious injuries. Harlem River Drive has 105 injuries, 1 death. 7th Avenue has 74 injuries. NYC Open Data.
The patterns repeat. Left turns crush people at corners. Bikes get hit on Saint Nicholas and Lenox. Two wheels go down under SUVs and taxis. See the turning crashes: “Making Left Turn,” “Turning,” “Wide Turn.” The dataset shows them again and again. NYC Open Data.
Simple work saves lives: daylight the corners, harden the turns, give walkers a head start. Do it first at 8th Avenue, Harlem River Drive ramps, and Saint Nicholas. Then keep going. (Analysis from local crash records: top sites, turning patterns.) NYC Open Data.
Nights are loud. Nights are lethal.
Crashes pile up after dark. Midnight is worst: 68 injuries and 3 serious injuries in the 12 a.m. hour. Evening brings another swell; 8–9 p.m. sits high. Dawn hurts too. Hourly distribution.
Heavy metal hits hard. SUVs and cars drive most of the harm to pedestrians here: 186 pedestrian injury events tied to those vehicles, with 1 death and 4 serious injuries. Trucks and buses add more. Vehicle rollup.
Contributing factors in our precinct read like a shrug. “Inattention/Distraction.” “Failure to Yield.” “Disregarded Traffic Control.” The largest bucket is “Other,” with 2 deaths, 347 injuries, and 10 serious injuries. It doesn’t explain. It doesn’t have to. The bodies do. Small‑area analysis.
Officials know what works — do they?
Across the city, promises follow funerals. After two people were killed at Canal and Bowery by a car doing more than 100 mph, DOT said it would “take immediate steps to fortify this intersection.” Gothamist. “We are taking immediate steps,” the commissioner said. Gothamist. NY1 said upgrades are coming there after the deaths. NY1.
The same tools work in Harlem. Narrow lanes. Protect crossings. Slow the turns. Make the change before the next siren.
Citywide fixes. Local lives.
- Lower speeds save lives. The city can act. Advocates are pushing to drop the default to 20 mph and to rein in repeat speeders. See our call to action and the bills tied to speed control. Take action.
- A small group of drivers do large harm. Speed cameras are 24/7 through 2030. The next step is forcing the worst offenders to slow down with in‑car limiters. Take action.
This is Precinct 32. Four dead. More than a thousand injured. The map doesn’t lie. The hours don’t lie. The corners don’t lie.
Act now. Or count the next one here.
