Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 90?

Nine Dead, City Silent: Who Will Stop the Killing on Our Streets?

Nine Dead, City Silent: Who Will Stop the Killing on Our Streets?

Precinct 90: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 8, 2025

The Deaths Keep Coming

In Precinct 90, the numbers do not lie. Nine people killed. Thirty-four left with serious injuries. Over 2,200 hurt since 2022. The streets do not forgive. They do not forget.

Just this spring, a 72-year-old man was killed crossing Scholes Street at Union Avenue. The car turned left. He never made it to the other side. In April, a ten-year-old girl was crushed by an SUV while crossing Wallabout Street with the signal. She died where she fell. The driver failed to yield. The city failed her too.

On Lynch Street, a cyclist was thrown and killed. The helmet did not save him. The cars did not stop. The street stayed the same.

The Pattern Is Clear

SUVs and cars do the most harm. They killed two. They left 213 others bleeding or broken. Trucks and buses injured 37 more. Motorcycles, mopeds, and bikes add to the toll. The pattern is old. The pain is fresh.

The police know these corners. They know the hours when death comes. They have the power to act. They can ticket speeders. They can watch the crosswalks. They can slow the cars. But the numbers keep rising.

Leaders Talk, Streets Stay Deadly

Local leaders have the tools. The city can lower speed limits. The precinct can enforce them. But change crawls. “I was very frustrated that nothing has been done in more than three years since Daniel Vidal was killed,” said Juan Ignacio Serra. The city promises Vision Zero. The bodies say otherwise.

“In areas that were formally industrial—a lot of trucks, lot of heavy construction activity—that are becoming residential where cycling is more popular, we’re unfortunately seeing a lot of collisions with cyclists and trucks,” said Polly Trottenberg.

The Call: Demand Action Now

This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand speed enforcement. Demand safer crossings. Demand action before another family gets the call.

Do not wait for another name on the list. Act now.
