Nights on 138th Street

Precinct 40: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 24, 2025

A driver turned at East 138th Street and St. Anns Avenue in the morning and two people on foot went down. Police records show one was at the corner, one was not. Both were hurt. Source.

This Week

  • Sep 16: At E 138 St and St Anns Ave, drivers of a Mercedes and a Toyota collided while turning; two people walking were injured, one at the intersection and one mid-block, per police data (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4843877).
  • Sep 14: Near 460 E 138 St, a driver in a sedan hit a 63-year-old woman not at an intersection; she suffered a fracture (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4842867).
  • Sep 10: At E 156 St and St Anns Ave, a bus driver going straight hit a 54-year-old man not at an intersection; he was injured (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4842773).

The count keeps rising

Since Jan 1, 2022, Precinct 40 has recorded 23 deaths and 3,068 injuries in 4,859 crashes. Seventy‑four were seriously hurt. Source.

People walking and biking carry the brunt. Police data list 6 people walking killed and 497 injured, and 5 people on bikes killed with 310 injured here over this period. Source.

Nights are cruel. Police logs show multiple deaths in the evening hours, including three at 7 PM and four at 10 PM. Source.

Corners we already know

Some places repeat. Police list heavy tolls on the Major Deegan Expressway and along Bruckner Boulevard, and on 3 Avenue and East 149 Street. These are named hotspots in city data (NYC Open Data).

The pattern is not abstract. On Aug 30, 2025, a 32‑year‑old mother crossing at Leggett Avenue and Bruckner Boulevard in Mott Haven was struck and left to die, police told reporters (NY Daily News).

What police write on their forms

Crash reports here cite drivers disregarding traffic control, inattention, and failure to yield among recorded causes. These are the boxes checked by officers on scene. Source.

Heavy vehicles are in the mix. Police counted pedestrian injuries and deaths involving buses and trucks alongside cars and SUVs. Source.

Fix the streets that keep breaking us

Start where the harm stacks up: daylight and harden turns on East 149 Street and Bruckner Boulevard; add leading pedestrian intervals and refuge space at St. Anns Avenue and E 138 St; tighten turns and mark no‑stopping zones where trucks sweep wide. Target night hours at repeat corners with enforcement the data flags.

Then scale what works. Lower the citywide default to 20 MPH and stop the worst repeat offenders with speed limiters. Albany has a bill—the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C)—to require intelligent speed assistance for drivers who rack up violations. Tell them to pass it. Our explainer is here.

Your local officials include Council Member Diana I. Ayala, Assembly Member Chantel Jackson, and State Senator Jose Serrano. The record provided here does not show whether they back the Stop Super Speeders Act. Will they?

One step you can take now

Ask City Hall and Albany to slow the cars and rein in the repeat offenders. Start with our guide: Take action.
