John William Lambert is credited with building America’s first practical gas-powered car, and with surviving the first recorded crash, in 1891.
Later, New York recorded a couple of firsts: the first crash between vehicle--a car and bicycle -- in 1896 and the first pedestrian fatality, when an electric cab struck Henry Bliss in 1899.
