Report That Crash in NYC

The NYPD is primarily responsible for collecting crash data in New York City. It's estimated that approximately 78,000 crashes happen each year in the New York City metro area. However, the NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad investigates less than half of 1 percent of all crashes (Transportation Alternatives, 2012. Reclaim, Vol 18, #4, p.19).

New York City needs more comprehensive crash reporting, and that starts with New Yorkers like YOU.

In addition to mapping more information about where and how crashes and “near misses” occur, this map also provides a tool for witnesses of a crash to reach out to the victim(s), for any police, legal or insurance needs.

These accidents include:

   Cyclist & Motorist crash

   Pedestrian & Motorist crash

   Motorist & Motorist crash

If you witnessed a crash:

• If the crash has not yet been reported on the map, fill out the Survey.
• If the crash is already on the map, submit a Witness Peport. Your comments will remain private.
