Precinct 62: Crosswalks, Dead Ends
Precinct 62: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- On Bath Avenue at 25th, a 66‑year‑old woman crossed with the signal. A pickup turned left. She died. Her 2‑year‑old was hurt. Police listed the cause as driver distraction and failure to yield. NYC Open Data crash record.
- At Bay Parkway and 79th, an SUV turned right and struck a 56‑year‑old man in the crosswalk. He died. The driver was licensed. The body bled in the intersection. NYC Open Data crash record.
- Cropsey and 24th Avenue: a 95‑year‑old woman. A 2022 Ford SUV turning left. She died at the corner. NYC Open Data crash record.
- 86th Street and 18th Avenue, just after 2 a.m.: a 76‑year‑old woman was hit at the intersection. She died. The record cites a driver who disregarded traffic control. NYC Open Data crash record.
Police said of another fatal hit‑and‑run in Brooklyn: “A driver struck and killed a 47‑year‑old pedestrian… then left the scene.” NY Daily News. Different precinct. Same city. Same night.
Hot streets. Cold corners.
- Bay Parkway racks up the most harm here: 107 injuries and one death. Open Data.
- 19th Avenue: two deaths, three serious injuries. Open Data.
- Avenue P and 86th Street pile on injuries; Avenue P also saw a pedestrian killed when a taxi ignored a signal. Open Data.
The clock tells a pattern. Noon to the evening push is worst. 12 p.m. tallied two deaths. At 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., more dead. Injuries peak from 4 to 7 p.m. Open Data.
What breaks bodies here.
- Since 2022, eight pedestrians are dead and 518 are hurt. Cyclists count 246 injuries. Open Data.
- The sheet lists driver inattention, failure to yield, and traffic control disregarded among the killers. “Other” is the largest bucket, with 13 deaths citywide in this dataset slice, a catch‑all that hides the wheel. Open Data.
- SUVs show up again and again in pedestrian deaths here. Trucks, too. Heavy fronts. High hoods. Open Data vehicles.
Three corners. One fix.
- Bath Ave at 25th. Bay Parkway at 79th. Cropsey at 24th. Slow the turns. Give walkers the head start. Harden the corners so wheels cannot sweep the crosswalk. Daylight the mouths so people can see and be seen. Target the peak hours with real enforcement of yielding at turns. The files name the same acts: failure to yield, distraction, blown signals. Open Data.
Officials know what works — do they?
Albany gave the city power to lower speeds. The city can set 20 mph on local streets. Advocates say do it now. “Sammy’s Law gave NYC the power to set safer speeds… Lower our residential speed limit to 20 mph citywide.” CrashCount Take Action.
A few drivers do outsized harm. “1.5% of motorists cause 21% of pedestrian deaths.” Repeat camera violators are far more likely to kill. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force speed limiters on the worst offenders. Streetsblog analysis via CrashCount Take Action.
The count does not stop.
This year to date, crashes in this precinct are up 22% over last year. Three people are dead. 500 are hurt. Period stats.
Slow the cars. Protect the turns. Save the next person in the crosswalk.
Act: Tell City Hall to lower speeds and rein in repeat speeders. Start here: Take action.
