Crash Count for Brooklyn 114,070 crashes • 297 deaths
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.
Change badges (arrows and percentages) compare the selected window with the same period last year whenever we have enough history. The “From 2022” view compares today’s totals with the earlier multi-year span. When a comparison window isn’t available the badge shows an em dash.
Notes: Police reports can be corrected after initial publication. Minor incidents without a police report are not included.

CloseUnlicensed drivers and turning cars leave Brooklyn bleeding
In one week Brooklyn saw 36 crashes, one person killed, and dozens hurt. Pedestrians, cyclists, and e‑bike riders took the blows while drivers sped, turned, and looked away.
Brooklyn streets ran hot this week. In seven days, 36 crashes left one person dead and many hurt. The toll includes four people with serious injuries and dozens more with broken bones, head trauma, and deep bruises.
The pattern is plain. An unlicensed SUV driver killed an 84-year-old man on 18 Avenue. Right-turning drivers hit people in marked crosswalks on Ocean Parkway, Linden Boulevard, and Coney Island Avenue. Left turns took down walkers on Avenue N and Rockaway Parkway. Drivers distracted or speeding mowed into cyclists and e-bike riders on Fulton, Atlantic, Nostrand, Ocean Avenue, and more.
Brooklyn’s leaders can slow these streets with 20 MPH limits, protected bike lanes, and real crackdowns on unlicensed and speeding drivers.
