Four street hits in one night. Bushwick bleeds on.
Precinct 83: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 12, 2025
About 10 AM on Aug 30, at Wyckoff Ave and Halsey St, a driver in a Jeep SUV hit a 28‑year‑old woman in the intersection. Police recorded an injury and moved on (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Just after 3 AM the same day (Aug 30), a 32‑year‑old cyclist was seriously hurt at Cypress Ave and Troutman St in a crash involving two sedans (NYC Open Data).
- About 2 AM (Aug 30), a driver in a 2024 Toyota SUV hit a 39‑year‑old man on Wyckoff Ave at Starr St (NYC Open Data).
- The night before (Aug 29), a driver turning a 2006 Toyota SUV left into a 38‑year‑old cyclist at Central Ave and Weirfield St (NYC Open Data).
Eight dead. 1,892 injured. Since Jan 1, 2022, that is the toll in Precinct 83 (NYC Open Data). Year‑to‑date, this precinct has logged 779 crashes, up 23.5% from 631 at this point last year. Injuries are up to 448 from 308. Recorded deaths are down, 1 this year versus 4 last year (NYC Open Data).
A 71‑year‑old woman never made it across Knickerbocker Ave at Eldert St on May 9, 2024. Police recorded the driver as unlicensed, going at unsafe speed, and disregarding traffic control. She died there (CrashID 4723690).
“Speed cameras have cut speeding by over 60% in locations where installed,” the State Senate recorded when the program was renewed (NYS Senate). The numbers here make the case for using every tool we have.
Where crashes keep coming
Police logs show deaths in the 5 PM, 7 PM, and 10 PM hours, and injuries piled across the clock (NYC Open Data). On Wyckoff, Bushwick, Central, De Kalb—names you know—the hurt repeats. Two recorded deaths tie to Central Avenue; another to De Kalb Avenue, according to the precinct rollup (NYC Open Data).
Police cited failure to yield, disregarding signals, and inattention in case after case. A box truck driver failed to yield to a man crossing with the signal at Halsey and Irving on Aug 29, 2025. The pedestrian was hurt (NYC Open Data). Heavy vehicles also show up in the worst outcomes; trucks and buses are tied to deaths in this precinct’s record (NYC Open Data).
Fix the corners that kill
Start with the basics at Wyckoff & Halsey, Wyckoff & Starr, Central & Weirfield, and the De Kalb corridor: daylighting at every leg, hardened left turns, and leading pedestrian intervals. Add targeted enforcement for failure‑to‑yield and red‑light running on these blocks. Shift truck routes and add turn‑calming where box trucks mix with crosswalks. These are standard tools; this precinct needs them most at the repeat sites documented above (NYC Open Data).
The bills that would spare the next family
The city now has the power to lower speeds. A citywide 20 MPH default and all‑hours camera enforcement work together; lower limits make every mistake survivable, and cameras curb repeat harm. Albany has a bill to stop habitual speeders with intelligent speed assistance; it’s laid out here. The act would force the worst offenders to obey the limit, not just pay tickets.
This is the district of Council Member Sandy Nurse, Assembly Member Maritza Davila, and State Senator Julia Salazar. Their constituents are the ones getting hit at these corners. The question is simple: will they push the fixes and back the bill?
Eight dead since 2022. Four crash scenes in a day. It does not stop on its own. If you want it to stop, start here.
