From Jan 1, 2022 to Sep 3, 2025, crashes in AD 57 left 14 people dead and 2,509 injured across 4,686 crashes, according to NYC’s collision database.

Which spots are worst?

Bedford Avenue and Fulton Street rank among the top injury locations in AD 57 during this period, with Atlantic Avenue and Rogers Avenue also high on the list (NYC Open Data).

What can fix this on these blocks?

Daylighting, hardened left turns, leading pedestrian intervals, protected bike lanes kept in place—not removed—plus focused night enforcement at repeat hot spots and safer truck routing.

How were these numbers calculated?

What Crashes Cost Here Loading estimate...

Loading crash cost estimate...

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.
