A cyclist and a pedestrian were killed early Saturday morning in Manhattan by a car that had jumped the curb and struck them on the sidewalk, the police said.

The vehicle, a blue Chevrolet Impala, had been traveling west on the Manhattan Bridge before striking the victims just before 7:30 a.m. at the intersection of Canal Street and the Bowery at the base of the bridge in Chinatown, the authorities said.

The cyclist was a man in his 30s and the pedestrian was a woman in her 60s, the police said. The driver and a passenger in the car were both women in their 20s, the authorities said. No other identifying information was available Saturday morning.

The car also struck a Police Department van in Chinatown that had been parked and unoccupied. The driver and passenger of the Impala fled the scene, but they were found a block away and taken into custody, the police said. Both were taken to a hospital for evaluation. No charges had been filed as of Saturday morning.

By around 11:30 a.m., the area remained a scene of wreckage. The Chevy sat on the Bowery near the curb — its front end crushed, its windshield smashed and its roof partly caved in — as onlookers gathered behind police tape strung along Canal Street. Nearly a dozen police officers were present.

The Bowery was littered with debris, including a metal bench that had come unmoored from the sidewalk and was lying upside-down in the street. The police van sat nearby on the curb, its rear buckled in.

Larry Washington, a longtime maintenance worker for a jewelry exchange just in front of the van, said accidents near the Manhattan end of the bridge were common. Cars, he said, come off the bridge too fast to safely make the turn north onto the Bowery.

“This is not the first time this has happened,” Mr. Washington, 47, said.

Pedestrian deaths citywide have declined 19 percent during the first six months of 2025 compared with those in the same period last year, dropping from 63 deaths to 51, according to the city’s Department of Transportation.

During the same period this year, one cyclist on a traditional, nonelectric bike has been killed on the city’s streets — a record low, according to the department. (Three cyclists were killed in the first six months of 2024 and six during the same period in 2023; there were 11 such deaths in the first half of 2019.)

Traffic deaths in the city declined 32 percent during the first six months of 2025 compared with those in same period last year, dropping to 87, according to the Transportation Department.

Sean Piccoli contributed reporting.

Christopher Maag is a reporter covering the New York City region for The Times.
