Who Dies Next? Blood on Precinct 63’s Streets

Precinct 63: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 8, 2025

The Deaths Keep Coming

A man steps into the street. A car does not stop. In Precinct 63, six people have died on the roads since 2022. Two were pedestrians. One was a child. One was over 75. The numbers do not bleed, but the families do. In the last year alone, three more lives ended, and nine people suffered injuries so grave they may never walk the same. More than 2,000 people have been hurt here since 2022.

A 30-year-old motorcyclist was killed at Flatbush Avenue and Avenue U, struck by a fire truck responding to a call. The FDNY said only, “The incident is under investigation.” No answers. No comfort. Just another name for the list.

The numbers climb. Five more crashes. Eight more injuries. The count now stands at 3,160 crashes. 2,033 people hurt. The pain spreads across every age. One child dead. One young adult, 18 to 24, dead. Two in their twenties. One in his fifties. One over 75. The old and the young. No one is spared.

The Role of Police and the Silence of Leaders

Precinct 63 has the power to act. Officers can enforce speed limits. They can ticket reckless drivers. They can target the corners where blood stains the curb. But action is a choice. The NYPD claims, “NYPD officers will be highly visible on New York City roadways… to deter unsafe driving and, when necessary, to take appropriate enforcement action.” The numbers say otherwise.

Local leaders talk of Vision Zero. They talk of safer streets. But the deaths keep coming. Speed cameras work, but their future is always in doubt. Laws pass, but change crawls. The city has the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. It has not done so. Every day of delay is another day of risk.

What You Can Do

This is not fate. This is policy.

Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand action. Demand lower speed limits. Demand enforcement. Demand that every crash is treated as a crime, not an accident. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.

Take action now.
