If a plane crashed in Times Square every month, we’d shut the skies down.

But cars kill more than planes ever will, and we let it happen.

Every week, The Count of Crashes documents the human cost of traffic violence in New York City. No spin. No excuses. Just the reality of what happens when policy meets pavement.

This is not a crime blotter. It’s not an abstract dataset. It’s a record of the failures that stack up, week after week, month after month, year after year.

The reports are blunt because the truth is blunt. People die. People grieve. And the city moves on.
Until it doesn’t.
