AD24: Night streets. Hard endings.
AD 24: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- A 61-year-old man was killed on Union Turnpike at 189th Street, not at an intersection, struck by a Mercedes sedan going straight on Aug. 12, 2025. The impact crushed him. The car’s front end took the hit. He never woke up.
- A 47-year-old man, crossing with the signal at 101st Avenue and 120th Street, was killed by a left-turning pickup. The report lists driver inattention twice on Mar. 12, 2024.
- A 20-year-old cyclist died on 164th Street after a collision involving two SUVs and an e‑bike on Jul. 14, 2023.
- Nine people were injured at Liberty Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard when a car jumped the curb and struck bus riders and a shelter. Police said all were in stable condition on Apr. 4, 2025.
The toll does not slow.
- In this district, pedestrians suffered 382 injuries and six deaths since 2022. Cyclists: 108 injuries and one death. Drivers and passengers: 1,865 injuries and five deaths from city data.
- Death visits after dark. Two deaths hit at 2 a.m., two more at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., with heavy injury counts from late afternoon into night hourly data.
Three corners. One fix.
- Union Turnpike. One death, 34 injuries. Union Turnpike is a repeat line of harm.
- 101st Avenue. One death, 24 injuries. 101 Avenue shows the same pattern.
- 120th Street. One death, 14 injuries. 120 Street does not forgive mistakes.
Daylighting. Hardened left turns. Raised bus stops and tight corners. These are not theories. They are work orders waiting to be signed.
The worst hours
- Injuries spike 2–3 p.m. through the evening, with 168 at 2 p.m., 163 at 5 p.m., and 180 at 6 p.m. Deaths also land at 2 a.m., 7–9 a.m., 5 p.m., 8 p.m., 10 p.m., 11 p.m. district timeline. Night streets. Dim sightlines. Fast traffic. People on foot.
- Trucks and buses are a small share of pedestrian strikes but deadlier when they hit: two pedestrian deaths tied to trucks in this period mode rollup.
What drives the harm
- “Other” factors dominate the paperwork: 11 deaths and 638 injuries filed under that bucket. Vulnerable road user “error” appears in far fewer cases, with one death and 74 injuries factor rollup. The forms rarely name the speed, but the bodies do.
- At 101st and 120th, the form names it plain: “Driver Inattention/Distraction” twice, and a man in the crosswalk is dead case details.
Officials know what works — do they?
- Albany extended the city’s school‑zone speed cameras in June. In the Assembly, David Weprin voted no on S 8344. He was one of nine city legislators opposed, according to Streetsblog NYC.
- The city now has the tools to slow streets further. Advocates press for a default 20 mph and for stopping repeat speeders. Our own coverage lays out the steps and numbers in Take Action.
Hate on the road
- A crash on the Van Wyck spilled into violence and a death. “No police, no police,” the assailant said, and “Turban man,” before the punches. “We will not tolerate hate in Queens,” DA Melinda Katz said after sentencing NY Daily News. The road is a stage for our worst selves. It should not be a killing floor.
What to fix here, now
- Daylight the crash corridors and bus stops on Union Turnpike and 101 Avenue. Install hardened turns at left‑turn hotspots like 101st Avenue at 120th Street.
- Add raised bus‑stop islands and guardrails at Liberty and Lefferts, where nine people were hurt ABC7.
- Target the worst hours with automated enforcement where legal, and redesign first where enforcement cannot reach district data.
The citywide fixes that stop this
- Lower the default speed. Use the law already passed to slow the whole grid. Twenty saves lives. The path is laid out in Take Action.
- Stop the repeat offenders. Mandate speed limiters for cars with long rap sheets, as described in Take Action.
Lower speeds. Fewer funerals. The rest is paperwork and will.
Take one step now: demand safer speeds and repeat‑speeder controls in Take Action.
