District 27: Deadly roads, silent nights
District 27: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 26, 2025
Cross Island, Farmers, Hillside. The toll mounts.
- Since 2022, District 27 has seen 6,132 crashes, 13 deaths, and 3,759 injuries. Pedestrians took 644 injuries; cyclists 158. SUVs and sedans led the harm to people on foot. Source.
- The city logs peak injuries in the afternoon push and late evening. The bodies keep coming at noon, 2 p.m., 4 p.m., and 8 p.m. Source.
Police data says who hurts whom. It does not bring anyone back.
Two roads, too many sirens
- The Cross Island Parkway leads the district’s pain. Four people died there. Hundreds more were injured. Source.
- Farmers Boulevard is next. Two dead. Dozens hurt. Source.
At 116th Avenue and Nashville Boulevard, a 39‑year‑old on a stand‑up scooter died before sunrise. The SUV turned left. The rider was ejected. Police coded it “unsafe speed.” City dataset CrashID 4823380.
On Jamaica Avenue at 146th Street, a 62‑year‑old moped passenger died in December 2023. “Reaction to uninvolved vehicle,” the report says. He was ejected. City dataset CrashID 4684466.
Night and noon aren’t safe
- Deaths strike at midnight, 2 a.m., 6 a.m., late morning, lunch hour, school let‑out, rush hour, and 8 p.m. It does not matter when you cross. Source.
- “Other” driver behavior is the main listed cause behind more than a thousand injuries here. Failure to yield and distraction follow. Alcohol shows up too. Source.
SUVs and sedans injured most pedestrians: 279 by sedans, 186 by SUVs. Trucks and buses added more. Source.
A hit‑and‑run by the airport
A driver hit a 52‑year‑old man near 155th Street and South Conduit Avenue, by JFK, around 2:30 a.m. He died at Jamaica Hospital. The driver fled.
- “The driver sped off without stopping.” NY Daily News.
- “Police were looking … for a driver they said struck and killed a man … before fleeing the scene.” Gothamist.
- “The operator of the vehicle fled the scene after hitting the man.” ABC7.
There is no arrest.
What your Council Member did — and didn’t
Council Member Nantasha Williams voted yes to tow abandoned cars within 72 hours, clearing blocked sightlines and corners. Legistar Int 0857‑2024, 6/30/2025.
She voted yes on taxi door warning decals to prevent dooring. Legistar Int 0193‑2024, 5/1/2025.
She also sponsored a new crackdown on unlicensed commuter vans, ordering max penalties on every violation. It sits in committee. Legistar Int 1347‑2025, 8/14/2025.
What will stop the bleeding
- Slow the cars. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. The city can lower the default limit and has begun 20 mph zones. The case for a citywide 20 mph default is simple: lower speed, fewer dead. See our Take Action.
- Stop the worst repeat offenders. The proposed Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would force drivers with 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year to use speed‑limiting tech. See our explainer and action tools.
Local fixes now
- Daylight corners and harden turns on Farmers Blvd and Hillside Ave. Protect crossings where people are actually walking.
- Target hours with heavy harm — noon to evening and 8 p.m. — for speed and failure‑to‑yield enforcement.
- Control access and speeds near the Cross Island Parkway ramps where deaths cluster.
The names are not in the spreadsheets. The damage is.
