Advocates and families of crash victims gathered in Brownsville, Brooklyn on Sunday to commemorate those killed by motorists in the city this year.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2022.A staffer for a street safety advocacy group was struck by a driver in Brooklyn on Sunday as he biked to an event to commemorate victims of traffic violence.
A spokesperson for the group did not release the cyclist’s name, but said he was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. It was an example of the dangerous state of the city’s streets the event aimed to highlight. Traffic fatalities have increased since the pandemic, following years of declines under the city’s Vision Zero program launched by former Mayor Bill de Blasio that aimed to reduce fatal car crashes.
Sunday’s event — held as part of the World Day of Remembrance — gathered families of car crash victims to commemorate their lives with more than 20 new trees planted in Lincoln Terrace.
