How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets on NYC Open Data (Crashes, Persons, Vehicles) filtered to Jan 1, 2022–Sep 19, 2025 and to New York State Senate District 15. Counts (crashes, injuries, deaths) and year‑to‑date comparisons come from those records as compiled for CrashCount’s SD 15 page. You can review the source datasets here: Crashes [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95), Persons [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Person/f55k-p6yu), and Vehicles [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Vehicles/bm4k-52h4). Data last accessed Sep 19, 2025.

We're a tool for helping hold local politicians and other actors accountable for their failure to protect you when you're walking or cycling in NYC. We update our site constantly to provide you with up to date information on what's happening in your neighborhood.

What recent crashes stand out?

On Aug 27, 2025, a driver hit a 10‑year‑old crossing with the signal at Rockaway Blvd and 97th St (CrashID 4839983). On Jul 31, 2025, a driver killed a 23‑year‑old near 101st St; police recorded unsafe speed (CrashID 4832080).

What policies could prevent repeat violence on these streets?

Two levers are on the table: a lower default city speed limit under Sammy’s Law and the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) to require intelligent speed limiters for habitual speeders. Senator Addabbo voted yes on S4045 in June 2025; the Assembly can act next. See details [here](https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S4045) and take action [here](/take_action/).

The three blocks below show direct costs, other harm, and the total for crashes with injuries, crashes without injuries, and all crashes together.

Loading estimate...

How we calculate this

We calculate these costs using a method developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA. It gives one set of costs for crashes with injuries and another for crashes with no reported injuries.

Crashes with injuries cost much more because the method includes things like lost work, medical care, and long-term harm. NHTSA says crash costs include "lost productivity, medical, legal and court costs, emergency service, insurance administration, congestion, property damage, and workplace losses."

These are estimates, not bills. "Other harm" is the part of the broader estimate that goes beyond direct bills and insurance claims. It captures pain, disability, and lost quality of life.
