Download CSV (members)

Traffic deaths hit a record low in 2025 because fewer drivers died, while pedestrian deaths barely moved.

Persons killed in motor vehicle crashes per calendar year, 2013 to 2025, by victim type.

Source: NYPD, Motor Vehicle Collisions – Crashes (h9gi-nx95), NYC Open Data Note: January–May 2026: 68 deaths, the lowest for those months since 2013. NYPD victim-type counts can exceed the total in some years.

Method: Sums of the NYPD crash file’s persons, pedestrians, cyclists and motorists killed fields by crash year, from h9gi-nx95. The file runs to June 11, 2026, so 2026 is compared only with January–May of earlier years.
