According to the NYPD, Chuyan Chen - a Sheepshead Bay resident - was crossing Avenue X northbound in the crosswalk when she was struck by the driver of a 2010 Ford F150 pickup truck as he turned left from Avenue X onto southbound East 16th Street.
According to data compiled by NYC Crash Mapper, the area where Chen was hit in Sunday has not seen a high number of serious car collisions in recent years. From January 2020 through January 2024, the intersection of Avenue X and East 16 Street seen only one collision, with one injury. The blocks adjacent to the crash site report similar statistics. However, the crash occurred less than a week after a 52-year-old woman was hit and killed by a turning pickup truck in Bay Ridge, just blocks from here home - and months after a number of seniors were killed or seriously injured in a number of crashes across southern Brooklyn.
