How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes, Persons, Vehicles). We filtered for the Midtown‑Times Square area (NTA MN0502) and the period Jan 1, 2022–Sep 26, 2025. We counted deaths, injuries, and serious injuries, and reviewed contributing factors and hourly patterns. You can start from the crash dataset and apply the same filters [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).
