NYPD crash data in its current form starts in 2013. Crash counts fell sharply in 2020, when traffic dropped during the pandemic, and have not returned to earlier levels. The current year is a partial count and grows each month.

How to read these figures
Each figure counts crashes that an NYPD officer reported on the MV-104AN form, which is required when someone is injured or killed or when damage reaches $1,000. One crash can injure several people, so injuries can exceed crashes.
Police do not record the borough or ZIP code for every crash — about 23% of crashes citywide in the same years have no borough — so local totals are a floor, not an exact count. The contributing factor is the one listed for the first vehicle in the report.
