In late November 2023, an image of black SUV engulfing the entrance of a subway station in Washington Heights went viral. The Rogue SUV went rogue when it crashed out in a manner that can only happen in New York. Unsurprisingly, the accident occurred in Washington Heights however, I would’ve guessed the Bronx (jk). Nevertheless, if a single image could describe the insanity on the Big Apple roadways in 2023, this would fit the bill.
Thankfully, no pedestrian was injured as a result of this traffic misadventure. The driver was intoxicated and hauled off without incident. Traffic violence spiked in 2023 across New York. A significant increase from the past year. By November, 226 people have been killed and more than 2,247 seriously injured in traffic violence this year — an over 25 percent increase from 2018. The death count hit the 100-person mark on June 7, the earliest that milestone has been reached since 2014.
