About these crash totals
Counts come from NYC police crash reports (NYC Open Data). We sum all crashes, injuries, and deaths for this area across the selected time window shown on the card. Injury severity follows the official definitions in the NYPD dataset.
- Crashes: number of police‑reported collisions (all road users).
- All injuries: total injured people in those crashes.
- Moderate / Serious: subcategories reported by officers (e.g., broken bones vs. life‑threatening trauma).
- Deaths: people who died due to a crash.
Notes: Police reports can be corrected after initial publication. Minor incidents without a police report are not included.

About this chart
We group pedestrian injuries and deaths by the vehicle type that struck them (as recorded in police reports). Use the dropdown to view totals, serious injuries, or deaths.
- Trucks/Buses, SUVs/Cars, Mopeds, and Bikes reflect the reporting categories in the crash dataset.
- Counts include people on foot only; crashes with no injured pedestrians are not shown here.
Notes: Police classification can change during investigations. Small categories may have year‑to‑year variance.
CloseAbout these numbers
These totals count vehicles with at least the shown number of camera‑issued speeding violations (school‑zone speed cameras) in any rolling 12‑month window in this district. Totals are summed from 2022 to the present for this geography.
- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.
About this list
This ranks vehicles by the number of NYC school‑zone speed‑camera violations they received in the last 12 months anywhere in the city. The smaller note shows how many times the same plate was caught in this area in the last 90 days.
Camera violations are issued by NYC DOT’s program. Counts reflect issued tickets and may omit dismissed or pending cases. Plate text is shown verbatim as recorded.

West End and 94th: A Rider Hits the Pavement
SD 47: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
A man on a bike went down at West End Ave and W 94th on Sep 9. Police recorded failure to yield and a traffic control disregard tied to the crash. He was seriously hurt (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Sep 6: On W 81st and Central Park West, the driver of a garbage truck turned left and injured four people walking in the intersection (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 23: Two sedans collided at 9th Ave and W 16th; two occupants were injured, with alcohol recorded in the report (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 14: On Amsterdam Ave at W 96th, a driver in an SUV going straight hit a woman not at an intersection. She suffered severe bleeding to the head (NYC Open Data).
The count does not stop
Since 2022 in this Senate district, there have been 8,937 crashes, leaving 31 dead and 4,066 injured, including 92 serious injuries (CrashCount analysis of NYC Open Data). The bodies are not abstractions. On Apr 4, 2025, a truck driver going straight on 9th Ave killed a 39‑year‑old man not at an intersection at W 40th (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4803350). On Apr 23, 2025, a driver in an SUV going straight killed a 57‑year‑old man in the crosswalk at Broadway and W 86th (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4807749). On Apr 24, 2025, a 74‑year‑old man on a bike died on W End Ave at W 70th (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4807979). On Jun 7, 2024, at W 50th and 11th Ave, a right‑turning box‑truck driver killed a 32‑year‑old man riding a Citi Bike e‑bike (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4730846).
In Central Park, even the Conservancy has had enough. “Banning horse carriages has become a matter of public health and safety for Park visitors,” its president wrote in August, after fresh crashes on the drives (West Side Spirit). Different vehicles. Same risk to the soft bodies in their path.
Power sits at City Hall and Albany
The City now has the power to drop most streets to 20 MPH under Sammy’s Law, sponsored by Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal and Sen. Brad Hoylman‑Sigal (Gothamist). It has not used it citywide.
In Albany, Hoylman‑Sigal co‑sponsors the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) and voted yes in committee on Jun 11 and Jun 12, 2025. The bill would require repeat violators to use intelligent speed assistance devices (NYS Senate S4045). He also sponsors S3304 to enforce protected bike lanes with cameras (NYS Senate S3304). Council Member Gale A. Brewer’s district covers much of this area; the Council controls local speed‑limit implementation. The tools exist on paper.
Use the tools or count the bodies
Lower speeds save lives. The Council can act on Sammy’s Law. The Legislature can pass S4045 and end the reign of repeat speeders. The people on West End, on Broadway, and in the Park do not have time to wait.
Take one step now: tell City Hall and Albany to move. Start here.

Hoylman-Sigal Demands Safety-Boosting Protected Bike Lanes Enforcement▸Feb 16 - Kwok Kwan, an e-cyclist, died after a taxi passenger doored him on 11th Avenue. No summons issued. The strip is notorious for crashes. Council Member Bottcher and Senator Hoylman rallied for protected bike lanes. The city’s deadly streets claim more lives.
On February 16, 2022, e-bike rider Kwok Kwan died after being doored by a taxi passenger on Manhattan’s 11th Avenue near 37th Street. No summons was issued to the driver or passenger for the illegal act. The area, plagued by 913 crashes in three years, has injured dozens of cyclists and pedestrians. Council Member Erik Bottcher and State Senator Brad Hoylman responded by rallying with advocacy groups, demanding protected bike lanes on 10th and 11th avenues. Hoylman tweeted, 'The City must make the streets of the West Side safer!' The Hudson River Greenway, a nearby bike path, bans legal e-bikes, forcing riders like Kwan onto dangerous streets. This was the city’s first cyclist death of 2022, amid a rising toll of road fatalities.

Sedan Skids on Slick Henry Hudson Asphalt▸Feb 5 - A Chrysler sedan slid south on Henry Hudson Parkway. Metal crumpled at the front. The lone driver, 27, suffered deep leg cuts. He stayed conscious. The road was dark and slick. No other injuries reported. Pavement conditions played a role.
A 2000 Chrysler sedan traveling southbound on Henry Hudson Parkway lost control on slippery pavement. According to the police report, 'A 2000 Chrysler sedan slid on slick pavement.

The driver, the only occupant, suffered severe lacerations to his leg but remained conscious. The police report lists 'Pavement Slippery' as the primary contributing factor.

Hoylman-Sigal Supports Safety-Boosting Elimination of Parking Minimums▸Jan 31 - State lawmakers push to end mandatory parking in new buildings. The bill targets car dominance, aims to cut congestion, and free space for homes. Sen. Hoylman leads the charge. The move could shift city streets, making room for people, not just cars.
Senate Bill, introduced by Sen. Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan), would ban cities from forcing developers to build off-street parking in new projects. The bill, considered as of January 31, 2022, is under review by the state legislature. The measure, described as aiming to 'encourage public transit use, reduce car ownership, and address climate change,' would give New York City 180 days to update zoning if passed. Sen. Hoylman, the sponsor, calls parking minimums 'backwards' and a barrier to affordable housing. Sen. Alessandra Biaggi (D-Bronx) has shown support for similar efforts. The Department of City Planning and the governor's office will review the legislation if it advances. The bill does not ban parking outright, but removes the mandate, letting developers decide. Advocates say this could lower costs and open space for housing or community needs.
