Xaverian HS Students Hurt in an Accident on Narrows Avenue Between 81st and 82nd Street
This afternoon near 3:00 pm in Bay Ridge, a woman driving a Jeep lost control of her vehicle at Narrows Avenue and 81st Street and crashed into a Nissan sedan. The Jeep also hit into three parked cars and then two Xaverian High School students who were walking on the sidewalk.
Both 16-year-old students were taken to NYU Langone Hospital. One of the girls suffered serious injuries after being pinned by the vehicle — prayers for her healing. Prayers for these student’s families, who had to receive this news.
Contrary to reports on the Citizen App claiming a person was trapped in the car, it was actually the student who was pinned by the vehicle.
Residents noted that the Jeep had out-of-state plates. The news shared that the driver was 18-years-old. The Nissan was driven by a 65-year-old woman and had a 34-year-old passenger.
News 12’s Photo
The drivers of the Jeep and Nissan (plus the passenger) were taken to Maimonides Hospital and all are alright.

The 68th Precinct Police taped off Narrows Avenue between 81st and 82nd Street and are still investigating. There is video of the accident.
Adam from Loudlabs shared this video:
Senator Andrew Gounardes stated that the driver was speeding.
Instead of urging the Brooklyn District Attorney to charge the driver, Andrew Gounardes took to another social media account to post a more vulgar message — “Slow the F down” — apparently believing that kind of language appeals to his base.
Councilman Justin Brannan did not write anything – he just shared Gounardes’ statement.
Instead, Justin Brannan thought posting about his dinner on social media was worth sharing. Unfortunately, this kind of social media use shows how misplaced our community’s priorities have become.
Bay Ridge, these two politicians give our community just one weak voice. A teen was seriously hurt and we should have seen immediate calls for the driver to be charged.
* Parents shared that a student was hit by a vehicle after school outside of McKinley Junior High School on Fort Hamilton Parkway this week. Neither politician shared any information about it. I haven’t seen anything online about this accident.
Update 10/12/25: Xaverian High School shared this message:

Senator Gounardes Was Asked About the Mobile Home on Shore Road, But Failed to Name the Law or Respond
Every few weeks, someone mentions the mobile home that is parked continuously on Shore Road.
Senator Andrew Gounardes was asked about the mobile home on X (formerly Twitter). Gounardes posts on that social media platform every day – several times a day. Yet days later, Andrew failed to answer the resident.
The law is that this type of vehicle can be parked on the street for 24 hours. Andrew Gounardes is an attorney, so he should have been able to answer the resident and take action.
Even 311 was not able to state the law and provide assistance.
This week, the mobile home owner hooked up a hose to the fire hydrant across the street.
There are no leaders in this area – just social media accounts, which won’t help residents with questions. And there is no way that the NYPD has not seen this mobile home by now.
Last February, Justin Brannan introduced legislation against mobile homes.

Residents on 68th Street Between 3rd & 4th Avenue Aren’t Happy to Be Losing Parking Spots
While Bay Ridge residents watch their parking spots taken by Citibikes on 68th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenue this week, do they realize Senator Andrew Gounardes is making videos tagging Transportation Alternatives on social media? Lobbyists control our community.
Look at how dramatic Gounardes is in the video. When your politician is making videos for huge corporations, you know there is a problem.
This is not the first time Andrew Gounardes has pushed for a private company to take public parking spots in our community.
Remember GetAround Car Sharing Company? Andrew Gounardes pushed GetAround and the company wasn’t able to stay in business in NYC for even a year. See his video:
