Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 84?

Four Dead, Hundreds Hurt—Who Will Stop the Bloodshed on Brooklyn’s Streets?

Four Dead, Hundreds Hurt—Who Will Stop the Bloodshed on Brooklyn’s Streets?

Precinct 84: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025

The Toll in Blood and Bone

Four dead. Twenty-two left with life-changing wounds. In the last three and a half years, this is the price paid in Precinct 84. The dead do not speak. The injured carry the story in scars and limps. These numbers are not just statistics—they are mothers, sons, neighbors.

Cars and SUVs did most of the harm. They struck, they crushed, they killed. Bikes and trucks left their mark too, but the weight of the carnage falls on the biggest machines.

Recent Crashes: No End in Sight

The violence does not stop. On April 7, a 26-year-old cyclist was cut open and left bleeding after a crash with an SUV on Atlantic Avenue. The wound was deep. The pain will last. In November, a 74-year-old man died when a bus turned and crushed him as he rode his e-bike through the intersection at Tillary and Jay. He was ejected. He did not survive.

On State Street, a woman in the back seat of an SUV was killed. The crash report lists her as “Apparent Death.” The cause: unsafe speed, aggressive driving. No one walks away from that.

Leadership: Promises and Silence

The police have the tools. They can enforce speed limits. They can crack down on reckless driving. They can target the corners where people keep getting hurt. But the violence keeps coming. The numbers do not lie: 1,207 injured, 22 seriously, since 2022 (NYC Open Data).

Local leaders talk about Vision Zero. They talk about safer streets. But the bodies keep piling up. The city has started to lower speed limits and redesign streets, but the pace is slow. The police can do more. They must do more.

The Call

Every crash is preventable. Every death is a failure. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand speed enforcement. Demand action at every hotspot. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
