Manhattan, NY (July 22, 2025) – At least one individual was injured in a vehicle accident that took place early Saturday morning, July 19, in Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood. The crash happened around 6:20 a.m. at the intersection of Edgecombe Avenue and Jumel Place, a residential area known for its steady traffic flow and frequent pedestrian presence.
Emergency personnel arrived quickly, rendering aid to those involved and monitoring the scene. While the extent of the injuries remains undisclosed, medics were seen evaluating the condition of at least one person before clearing the area.
The intersection—tucked within a historic section of upper Manhattan—is often challenging to navigate due to tight corners and limited visibility, factors that may have contributed to the collision. These conditions can increase the likelihood of injury even in slower-speed impacts.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the incident and determine the circumstances leading up to the crash.
Our thoughts go out to all who were affected.

Life in Manhattan moves fast. From the bustling avenues of Midtown to the tight corners of Chinatown, drivers are constantly navigating around yellow cabs, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians. But with this constant motion comes a serious risk: car accidents are a daily occurrence—and many leave victims with painful, life-altering injuries.
Manhattan remains one of the top boroughs in New York City for crash-related injuries. In 2023, hundreds of thousands of vehicle collisions were reported statewide, and a significant share took place in Manhattan’s densely packed streets. Whether you’re driving near Times Square, heading down Fifth Avenue, or turning through the Upper West Side, an accident can happen without warning.
