North Corona: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 1, 2025

Just before 7 PM on Oct 27, at 108th Street and 38th Avenue, the driver of a parked BMW opened his door into a 26‑year‑old on a Citi Bike. He died at the scene, police said in reports cited by local outlets (NYC Open Data; NY Daily News; Streetsblog NYC).

He was one of 3 people killed on North Corona streets since 2022, with hundreds more injured (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • Oct 27: A parked BMW driver doored a Citi Bike rider at 108th St and 38th Ave; the 26‑year‑old died (NYC Open Data; Streetsblog NYC).
  • Sep 29: A driver and a person on an e‑bike collided at 114th St and 34th Ave; the cyclist was injured (NYC Open Data).
  • Sep 27: Two cars crashed on 97th St at 37th Ave; an occupant was seriously hurt (NYC Open Data).
  • Sep 7: A person walking was hit by a man riding a bike at 100th St and 35th Ave; the pedestrian suffered a concussion, and police recorded distraction by the rider (NYC Open Data).

The pattern is on the clock

Since 2022, crashes here total 1,257, with 682 people injured and 9 seriously hurt. Three are dead. People on bikes have 1 death and 59 injuries; people walking have 114 injuries (NYC Open Data).

Harm piles up after dark. Injuries peak around 8 PM with 51 people hurt. Deaths were logged around 4 AM, 6 PM, and 7 PM (NYC Open Data).

Police records show named driver behaviors, too: inattention/distraction tied to 10 injury cases, and failure to yield in 3 injury cases in this area’s dataset (NYC Open Data).

Corners that keep breaking people

Northern Boulevard shows up twice on the short list of worst locations, with one entry logging a death and 25 injuries. 34th Avenue has another death and 46 injuries. These are not secrets. They are addresses (NYC Open Data).

Simple fixes are on the table: daylighting and hardened turns at these corners; protected space for bikes where riders are dying; and targeted evening enforcement when the injuries spike. The crash records point to where and when to start (NYC Open Data).

Who moves first

This neighborhood sits in Council District 21 (Council Member Francisco P. Moya), Assembly District 35 (Assembly Member Larinda Hooks), and Senate District 13 (State Senator Jessica Ramos). The state bill to rein in repeat speeders — the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) — advanced this year; Sen. Jessica Ramos is listed as a co‑sponsor and voted yes in committee on May 20, 2025 (Open States).

She also told voters she wants “a citywide strategy that prioritizes safety through design” (Streetsblog NYC). Design is a choice. So is delay.

Lower speeds save lives. New York City now has the authority to set safer limits. The city can use it at scale; Albany can pass the speed‑limiter bill. The map of North Corona’s pain marks the spots. The clock marks the hours.

One cyclist. One door. One corner. It doesn’t end there. It ends when leaders act. Take one step today: push them to do it.
