File under: Our City Council Members in action.

This morning, City Council Members David Greenfield, Letitia James, Brad Lander, Stephen Levin, Peter Vallone, and James Vacca announced on the steps of City Hall that they want to establish a 15-member group charged with analyzing the NYPD’s definition of “serious injury” in motor vehicle accidents. Currently, officers do not investigate accidents unless they think the hurt party is dead or likely to die.

Lander, Levin, and Council Member Jessica Lapin have also proposed a law that would require the NYPD to publish crash info online.

Levin wants to require cops to get motorists’ identifying and insurance info even if the situation doesn’t meet the  “dead or likely to die” criteria and investigate all accidents resulting in serious injury.
