Car Accidents in New York
Crashes in dense neighborhoods like Harlem often occur in areas with high pedestrian activity, frequent parking maneuvers, and narrow roadways. The section of W 134th St where Monday’s collision took place is surrounded by residential buildings, schools, and local businesses, making it essential for drivers to remain attentive and travel at safe speeds. Across New York City, common causes of vehicle accidents include distracted driving, failing to yield, and unsafe lane changes.
Even at lower speeds, collisions in urban settings can cause serious injuries, particularly when pedestrians or cyclists are nearby. Safety advocates urge drivers to remain alert, follow posted speed limits, and exercise extra caution when navigating residential streets. Taking a defensive approach behind the wheel can help reduce the likelihood of accidents in these high-risk areas.
