Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 60?
She Survived Everything—Except a Brooklyn Crosswalk
Precinct 60: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Silence
A woman crosses Cropsey Avenue. She is ninety-five. She has survived Nazis, Chernobyl, and COVID. A cargo van turns left. She does not survive the street. Her home health aide is hurt. The driver is not charged. Her daughter remembers her as “a very active lady.” The city moves on.
In the last twelve months, one person died and 423 were injured in traffic crashes in Precinct 60. Three suffered serious injuries. Children are not spared. One child died. Thirty-nine more were hurt. The numbers do not rest. They do not lie.
The Pattern: Cars, Trucks, and Broken Bodies
Cars and SUVs are the main weapons. In three years, they killed two, seriously injured two, and left 78 with moderate wounds. Trucks and buses hurt eight. Motorcycles and bikes add to the count. No one is safe. Not the young. Not the old. Not the ones just trying to cross the street.
A police shooting at a roadblock near the Belt Parkway ends with a dead driver. The city calls it enforcement. The street calls it another day.
Leadership: Words, Laws, and the Waiting
The city says it is serious. The mayor insists, “One life lost to traffic violence is one life too many.” The council passes bills. Cameras catch speeders. But the deaths keep coming. The police have the tools. They can enforce speed limits. They can ticket reckless drivers. They can target the corners where people die. They just need to act.
What Now: No More Waiting
Every day of delay is another family broken. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand lower speed limits. Demand real enforcement. Demand that Precinct 60 use every tool to protect the people who walk and ride. Do not wait for the next name. Take action now.
