What Is A Life Worth In NYC? In Fatal Crashes, Sometimes Just $50 - Streetsblog New York City

Streetsblog analyzed each of the 10 fatal crashes in January 2025 in which a pedestrian was killed and the driver identified by police (the month was chosen because enough time had passed for police to complete the investigations and refer the cases to prosecutors): None of the drivers faced a serious charge of vehicular homicide or criminally negligent homicide. Nor did any driver have to worry about losing his or her freedom for the crime of killing someone.
