The numbers don’t look away
Since 2022, Precinct 83 has recorded 9 people killed and 2,381 injured on its streets, across 5,021 crashes in the city dataset.
Year to date, police logged 844 crashes and 1 death, down from 6 deaths in the same period last year; injuries rose from 409 to 477 in the comparative stats.
In the past 12 months, police counted 1,169 crashes, 2 deaths, and 630 injuries here per the 12‑month rollup. The bodies keep coming. The street names repeat.
Corners that keep bleeding
Bushwick Avenue tops the list with the most injuries and multiple deaths in this precinct’s data. Central Avenue, Irving Avenue, and Flushing Avenue also sit high on the rollup of top locations.
Police list named driver errors again and again: failure to yield, running the light, distraction in the contributing factors. Late afternoon into evening is the grind; injuries spike from about 4 PM through 7 PM in the hourly counts.
Heavy vehicles are part of the toll. A bus driver injured a 15‑year‑old girl in the crosswalk at St. Nicholas and Stanhope on Nov 22, 2024 CrashID 4775142. A freight van driver turning right killed a 59‑year‑old person walking with the signal at Wyckoff and De Kalb on Oct 18, 2024 CrashID 4764527.
What Precinct 83 can do now
Target the corners we all know: Bushwick Avenue, Central Avenue, Irving Avenue, Flushing Avenue. Enforce failure‑to‑yield and red‑light running at peak hours. Daylight the crosswalks, harden turns, and add leading pedestrian intervals at these nodes. Keep trucks and buses out of tight turns where the bodies pile up per the precinct analysis.
City tools exist. Speed cameras run 24/7 in school zones through 2030, and red‑light cameras are being expanded, according to recent state and city actions summarized here and here. Use them where the injuries cluster.
The step that stops the worst drivers
The city has the levers. Lower speeds save lives; the city now has the power to reduce limits and is rolling out 20 MPH zones, as DOT has stated in recent releases on speed reductions. Albany has a bill on repeat speeders that would require speed limiters after a pattern of camera violations; New Yorkers can press for it and more, laid out on our action page.
Your representatives here are Council Member Sandy Nurse in District 37, Assembly Member Maritza Davila in AD 53, and State Senator Julia Salazar in SD 18. The bill details and the calls to make are on Take Action.
The woman on Wyckoff and Jefferson is one line in a long ledger. Close the distance between what we know and what we do. Start now: Take Action.
