Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 76?
Who Pays the Price When Leaders Look Away?
Precinct 76: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
Blood on the Streets
In Precinct 76, violence comes slow and steady. Four people are dead since 2022. Twelve more carry wounds that will not heal. Pedestrians, cyclists, children—no one is spared. In the last year alone, 259 people were injured in 548 crashes. Five were left with injuries so severe they may never walk the same.
A woman, 83, was killed by a turning truck on Bond Street. The record shows only this: “Apparent Death.” No warning, no time to run. NYC Open Data.
On Atlantic Avenue, an 18-year-old died in the front seat. The cause: “Unsafe Speed.” The car did not stop. The numbers do not lie. The dead do not speak.
The Role of the Precinct
The police have the tools. They can enforce the law. They can ticket speeders, stop reckless drivers, and target the corners where people die. But the violence continues. The records fill with names and numbers. The silence is loud.
Leadership: Action and Inaction
Local leaders have the power to change the story. They can push for lower speed limits, redesign deadly intersections, and demand real enforcement. But too often, the burden falls on the broken. Laws that target cyclists and pedestrians do not stop the killing. The driver walks away. The family buries their own.
A relative, after one crash, said only this: “It’s devastating. It’s affecting everyone in our family, especially (Ruiz’s) mom. Maddy was her only daughter.”
After another, the driver told police: “He lost control when he was doing donuts with the vehicle.”
The cost is always paid by the most vulnerable.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is a choice made by someone, and a choice not made by those in power. The police can crack down. The council can lower the speed limit. The mayor can demand more. But only if you force them.
Call your council member. Demand enforcement. Demand safer streets. Do not wait for another name on the list.
