Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 67?

Four Dead, Thousands Hurt: City Leaders Watch, Streets Bleed

Four Dead, Thousands Hurt: City Leaders Watch, Streets Bleed

Precinct 67: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 19, 2025

The Numbers Do Not Lie

Nine dead. Forty seriously hurt. Over 3,300 injured. That is the toll of traffic violence in Precinct 67 since 2022. The dead do not get a second chance. The wounded carry scars you cannot see. In the last twelve months alone, four people died and more than a thousand were injured on these streets. The disaster is slow, but it does not stop.

Recent Crashes: Lives Shattered, Families Changed

Just this May, a woman crossing with the signal at E 95th Street and Rutland Road was killed by a turning sedan. The driver was distracted. She died in the crosswalk, crushed in the chest. The record shows only this: “Apparent Death” and “Driver Inattention/Distraction” (NYC Open Data).

A year earlier, a 74-year-old woman was killed at Avenue D and New York Avenue. She had the light. The driver failed to yield. The record is spare: “Failure to Yield Right-of-Way” (NYC Open Data).

Most victims are on foot. Most drivers walk away.

Leadership: Promises and Silence

The city has the power to lower speed limits. Albany handed it over. But the default speed is still too high. The council can act. The precinct can enforce. The tools are there. The bodies keep coming.

Police can do more. They can target speeders, reckless drivers, and those who fail to yield. They can focus on the places where people keep getting hit. They can write tickets. They can make it clear: the law is not a suggestion.

The NYPD Commissioner Tisch stated, “Our message to drivers was clear: follow the rules or face the law.”

But the numbers show the message is not getting through. Four dead in a year.

What Now: No More Waiting

Every day of delay is another family broken. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand action. Demand lower speeds, real enforcement, and streets built for people, not just cars. The dead cannot speak. The living must.
