Precinct 84: Four dead, hundreds hurt, the same streets keep breaking people
Precinct 84: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 26, 2025
Brooklyn’s 84th Precinct: five dead, 1,298 injured since 2022. The bodies and the numbers are from the city’s own ledger. See the collisions data.
- Bicyclists: 197 hurt. 7 seriously. 0 killed.
- Pedestrians: 246 hurt. 10 seriously. 0 killed.
- Occupants: 811 hurt. 6 seriously. 4 killed.
- Other motorized riders: 44 hurt. 1 seriously. 1 killed.
Unsafe speed. Distraction. Turns that don’t spare the human body. “Other” is the largest bucket in the database, but it still records 11 serious injuries tied to it. Speed sits in the files too.
Tillary. Flatbush Extension. Cadman Plaza West.
The map points to the same blocks. Tillary Street leads the list: 56 injuries, 4 serious. Flatbush Avenue Extension: 66 injuries, 2 serious. Cadman Plaza West carries a death and 16 injuries.
On November 6, 2024, a bus turned right at Tillary and Jay. It struck a 74‑year‑old man on an e‑bike. He died at the scene. The record says “Making Right Turn.” The record says “Crush Injuries.”
On August 22, 2022, a Cadillac SUV on Cadman Plaza West killed a 76‑year‑old passenger and injured the driver. The state fields say “Unsafe Speed” and “Aggressive Driving/Road Rage.”
Hours when the streets bite
The injuries pile up after school and into the night. 3 p.m. shows 80 injuries, 3 serious. 4 p.m.: 79 injuries, 4 serious, and a death. 8 p.m.: another death. 11 p.m.: another. The morning peak hurts too: 8 a.m. shows a death and 51 injuries. These are entries in the city’s table. They do not look away: see the hourly distribution.
What the files say about causes
Speed factors into deaths and the worst harm here. The data marks 11 serious injuries under “other,” 6 under “vulnerable road user error,” and more tied to inattention and passing. One line is blunt: “Unsafe Speed” sits on the 2022 Cadman Plaza West death. These are the contributing factors.
Buses and trucks matter at the curb. Pedestrian injuries in this precinct list sedans first, then SUVs, then trucks and buses. Nine pedestrian injury cases involve buses; 26 involve trucks. The rollup sits in the open data.
The year keeps getting worse
Through August 26, 2025: 661 crashes, 2 deaths, 257 injuries. Same time last year: 525 crashes, 0 deaths, 258 injuries. Crashes are up about 26%. The city’s own counts show it. See the period stats.
Names withheld. The harm is not.
February 28, 2025, Flatbush at State: a stopped SUV, a sedan going straight, a woman in the right‑rear seat dead. The file calls it “Apparent Death.” The place is in the log: CrashID 4795527.
August 19, 2025, Henry Street: a driver followed too closely and died after rear‑ending a parked car. The fields read “Following Too Closely” and “Passenger Distraction.” The loss sits in CrashID 4836901.
Fix the turns. Slow the cars. Protect the hours kids cross.
- Harden right turns at Tillary and Jay and along Flatbush Extension. Protect bike approaches. Daylight the corners.
- Add leading pedestrian intervals and raised crosswalks at Tillary, Navy, Court, and Cadman Plaza West.
- Target bus and truck turns where the records show harm. Enforce speed at the afternoon and evening peaks the data flags.
Citywide moves that would spare this precinct
Albany gave the city the lever. New York can set safer speeds. The ask is simple: use it. Lower the default to 20 mph and make it stick. The case for lower speed is already on our site; the call to act is open.
The other lever is for the worst repeat speeders. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force chronic offenders to use in‑car speed control. It is in the file, with the families it might have saved. Read and act here: Stop Super Speeders and slow the city.
This is Precinct 84. The bodies are counted. The corners are named. The clock keeps moving.
