Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 79?
Nine Dead, Nineteen Broken—Brooklyn Streets Still Run Red
Precinct 79: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Silence
Nine dead. Nineteen maimed. That is the count in Precinct 79 since 2022. The dead do not speak. The injured limp, or do not walk at all. In the last year alone, two more lives lost, nine left with wounds that will not heal. The numbers do not flinch. They do not lie.
Just last year, a 49-year-old man was killed crossing at Bedford and Lafayette. A 37-year-old worker was crushed on Myrtle and Walworth. An elderly woman, 79, struck and killed on Herkimer and New York Avenue. She was crossing with the signal. The driver failed to yield. She died in the street, according to NYC Open Data.
The Pattern: Drivers Walk, Victims Don’t
The violence does not stop. On August 2, a 47-year-old man was killed crossing Broadway at Suydam. The driver left him dead and fled. Police reported “A driver struck and killed a 47-year-old pedestrian… then left the scene.” The body was still warm when the city moved on.
SUVs and trucks do the most harm. Four killed by cars and SUVs. Two by trucks and buses. The old, the young, the worker in the road. No one is spared. The street does not care who you are.
Leaders: Promises and Pauses
The police have the tools. They can enforce speed limits. They can ticket reckless drivers. They can stand at the corners where people die and say, Not here, not today. But too often, they wait. The city waits. The state waits. The blood dries and the next name is added to the list.
There is no shortage of plans. There is a shortage of action. “We wait until someone dies. We wait until a tragedy. We wait to say, ‘oh my gosh, how could this possibly have happened?’ We let this happen time and time again,” said State Senator Andrew Gounardes.
What You Can Do: Make Them Hear You
Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand speed enforcement. Demand failure-to-yield tickets. Demand action at every deadly corner.
Do not wait for another body in the street.
