With collision investigations, the NYPD handles all criminal aspects of the investigation, while NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) reviews the street design at the locations of such crashes.

 

Note: The data presented on this page are preliminary and subject to change. Reasons for this may include re-classifications of deaths later determined to be unrelated to traffic collision, or delays in determining a death from traffic collision that occurred on a date subsequent to the actual crash. A comparison of current and previous year data may not be valid or statistically meaningful.
