NYPD: Two killed in morning Chinatown crash, driver in custody


Two people were struck and killed by a car near the foot of the Manhattan bridge in Chinatown early Saturday, police said.

A Chevy Malibu sedan exiting the bridge at Canal Street and Bowery hit a man on his bike and a woman on a nearby sidewalk at around 7:30 a.m., according to officials who also said both victims were pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said two women in their 20’s were driving the Malibu when it slammed into the two victims. They initially tried to leave on foot but police said they took both women into custody and neither had serious injuries.

The NYPD said it had not filed charges as of Saturday afternoon.

The high speed collision also caused significant damage to an unoccupied NYPD auxiliary van parked nearby, according to photos of the scene and the NYPD, but no officers were injured.

The deaths come just weeks after the city’s Department of Transportation announced that traffic deaths in New York had reached a record low with 87 fatalities in the first half of 2025.

This is a developing story and has been updated with new information, including the make of the vehicle which the NYPD had previously reported as an Impala.
