Morgan Avenue keeps killing. The city keeps stalling.
AD 53: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- A box truck hit a 46-year-old man on Morgan Avenue at Maspeth. He died at the scene, according to city crash data on Aug. 6, 2025. It’s the third death on Morgan in three years, as advocates warned. “I was very frustrated that nothing has been done,” Juan Ignacio Serra said. Link.
- A dump truck making a left turn killed a pedestrian in an East Williamsburg crosswalk at Withers and Woodpoint on Mar. 1, 2025.
- Broadway and Suydam, 3:45 a.m. A 47-year-old man was struck and dragged more than 50 feet. The driver fled. Police are still looking for information, reporters wrote on Aug. 4, 2025 and Aug. 3, 2025.
Three years. Three deaths. Same corridor. Streetsblog put it plain.
Heavy vehicles, heavy losses
- Trucks and buses keep showing up in the worst cases. Pedestrians here were hit in 25 truck-involved crashes since 2022, with three pedestrian deaths tied to trucks, city data show. Source.
- Morgan Avenue is a repeat hotspot, with two deaths and 37 injuries. Source.
- Flushing Avenue and DeKalb have each seen a death. Broadway and Bushwick Avenue log dozens of injuries. Source.
- The danger spikes at the edges of the day. Injuries pile up from 7–9 a.m., then 4–7 p.m., and again at 7–10 p.m. Source.
In this district since 2022: 12 deaths. 2,372 injuries. Forty were serious. Pedestrians alone: 5 killed, 446 hurt. City data.
“Hit and run” is the phrase that keeps coming back. A Bushwick man stood in a crosswalk at Wyckoff and Himrod and was thrown 10 to 15 feet. The driver fled. “Broken ankle, broken humorous, bunch of fractures in my skull,” he told TV. Link.
Three corners. One fix.
Name the turns. Harden them.
- Morgan Avenue: protected bike lanes, hardened lefts, and marked mid-block crossings where people actually walk. Advocates called for it after prior deaths. “Nothing has been done,” Serra said. Link.
- Union at Scholes: a left-turning driver killed a 72-year-old man in the intersection on Mar. 24, 2025. Put in leading walk times and daylight the corners.
- Broadway at Suydam: fatal hit-and-run Aug. 2, 2025. Add hardened turns, crossings you can see, and truck restrictions at night.
Trucks are part of the pattern. So are turns. So is speed. “In areas… becoming residential… we’re unfortunately seeing a lot of collisions with cyclists and trucks,” Polly Trottenberg said. Link.
Officials know what works — do they?
Albany extended 24/7 school-zone speed cameras through 2030 this June, a step meant to keep pressure on the gas pedal where kids cross. Bill S8344.
The city has the tools to slow the streets, and the state has a bill to stop repeat speeders. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force drivers with heavy point totals or camera tickets to install speed limiters. Local Assembly Member Maritza Davila co-sponsors the Assembly version, A2299. Link.
Three years. Three deaths. One corridor.
Lower speeds. Harden turns. Fix Morgan Avenue.
Act now. Take action.
