Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 45?

Eight Dead, No Answers: Demand an End to Blood on Precinct 45’s Streets

Eight Dead, No Answers: Demand an End to Blood on Precinct 45’s Streets

Precinct 45: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025

The Toll on Our Streets

Eight dead. Twenty-nine left with life-altering injuries. In the last three and a half years, the roads of Precinct 45 have not been quiet. The numbers do not flinch: 2,923 crashes, 1,792 people hurt, eight never coming home again (NYC Open Data).

The dead are not numbers. They are neighbors, mothers, fathers, children. On July 11, a 71-year-old woman was killed in Co-op City. A 79-year-old driver crashed into two cars and a pole. The impact sent metal into flesh. “I saw one lady was out on the ground. They was giving her medical attention, checking her body. She was laid out,” said Samuel Cherry. Six others were hurt. No arrests. The cause, police said, “was not immediately known” (NY Daily News).

A year before, a 40-year-old man was killed by an SUV on Westchester Avenue. The driver kept going straight. The pedestrian did not get up again (NYC Open Data).

Cars and SUVs do most of the killing. Two deaths by SUV, one by truck, two by cars. Trucks and buses crushed 19 people. Motorcycles and mopeds left eight more broken. Bikes injured three. The sidewalk is not safe. The crosswalk is not safe. The parkway is not safe.

What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done

The city has the tools. Albany handed them the power to lower speed limits. Cameras catch speeders day and night. But the carnage continues. Local leaders have not made Precinct 45 a model for safety. The silence is loud. No bold new plans. No public reckoning. The police have the power to enforce the law, to crack down on speeding, reckless driving, failure to yield. They can target the corners where blood stains the curb. They just need to act.

The Call: Demand Action Now

Every crash is preventable. Every death is a failure. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand speed enforcement. Demand real protection for people who walk, bike, and take the bus. “It was a terrible sound – it was a terrible incident that happened,” said Jennifer. Do not wait for the next one. Make them act. Make them answer.
