Atlantic and Elton, two lives gone. What will it take?

SD 19: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 6, 2025

Just after 8 PM on Sep 1, at Atlantic Ave and Elton St, a man and a woman on a motorcycle were thrown and died. “The driver and passenger were ejected,” police told ABC7.

This was not an outlier. Since Jan 1, 2022, Senate District 19 has recorded 30 people killed, 8,602 injured, in 13,217 crashes drawn from NYC Open Data.

This year is running worse than last. Compared with the same period a year ago, crashes are up 17.9%, injuries 34.0%, and deaths 166.7%, per CrashCount’s rollup of the same datasets.

This week on our streets

  • Aug 28, about 10:45 AM: a 27‑year‑old bicyclist was hit at Remsen Ave and Avenue J and seriously hurt; police data lists driver inattention and inexperience in the crash record (NYC Open Data).

Atlantic keeps taking

The Labor Day crash at Atlantic and Elton killed two people riding a 2025 Harley. The SUV driver was making a left, according to the police database (NYC Open Data; ABC7).

Two nights earlier in Canarsie, a B47 bus and an SUV collided near Glenwood Rd and Ralph Ave; four people were reported hurt by multiple outlets (ABC7; CBS New York; The Brooklyn Paper).

The pattern is on paper

In the last 12 months in SD 19, police logged 4,079 crashes, 2,932 injuries, and 13 deaths across all ages in the period stats we track (CrashCount analysis of NYC Open Data). Year‑to‑date, the district shows 2,689 crashes, 1,998 injuries, 32 serious injuries, and 8 deaths, versus 2,281 crashes, 1,491 injuries, 12 serious injuries, and 3 deaths at this point last year — the increases noted above come from those same records.

Pedestrians carry the worst of it. Recent fatal cases here include a 68‑year‑old woman hit while crossing with the signal at Rutland Rd and E 95 St on May 14, police said (NYC Open Data). Another pedestrian was killed at Pennsylvania Ave and Blake Ave on Jan 24; police recorded failure to yield by the driver turning left (NYC Open Data).

Levers on the table — who’s pulling them?

State Senator Roxanne Persaud voted yes in committee for S 4045, a bill to require intelligent speed assistance for repeat violators, on May 20 and June 12, 2025 (Open States). She also voted yes to extend school speed zones, per the Senate record listed in our timeline.

Council Member Mercedes Narcisse and Assembly Member Nikki Lucas represent much of this area. The context here shows no documented sponsorship or vote by Lucas on the Assembly version of the speed‑limiter bill. The streets keep telling the story. What gives?

Slow it down, save a life

Two deaths on Atlantic this week. A cyclist bleeding on Remsen. The numbers keep rising. The fixes are known: slower default speeds and real limits for repeat speeders. Tell City Hall and Albany to use the tools they have. Start here.
