Gravesend (East) Keeps Burying Its Dead
Gravesend (East)-Homecrest: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- On Ocean Parkway at Quentin Road, a driver hit a mother and her two daughters as they crossed with the signal. All three died. The NYPD report lists “Traffic Control Disregarded” and “Unsafe Speed.” The sedan’s driver was unlicensed. A taxi was turning. Three small bodies in one crosswalk. City data records the crash as 4801962; the brief obit ran citywide, then faded.
- At Kings Highway and East 14th Street, a garbage truck turned left and struck a 58‑year‑old man at the intersection. Police logged “Failure to Yield Right‑of‑Way.” He died at the scene. The record is 4597512.
- On Coney Island Avenue at Avenue T, a 58‑year‑old pedestrian was hit midblock and killed. The car kept “Going Straight Ahead.” Another line in the database: 4698058.
“Criminal charges for him were still pending,” police said after yet another Brooklyn death in separate coverage of a moped crash the same week. The line lands the same every time. Gothamist.
Three corners. One fix.
Gravesend (East) bleeds at the same places. The worst toll sits on Quentin Rd and Coney Island Ave. Pedestrians take the hits: 9 dead, 200 injured since 2022 in this zone. Heavy trucks and buses are small in number, but when they hit, they kill. The garbage truck that turned left at Kings Highway left nothing to debate. Open Data.
The clock teaches the same lesson. Injuries stack up at midday and into the evening. The hour from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. is cruel: six deaths at 1 p.m., one at 2 p.m., then two more by 9 p.m. It is not the night. It is the day. Open Data.
What breaks bodies here is plain in the ledgers: failure to yield, red‑light runs, and speed. “Traffic Control Disregarded.” “Unsafe Speed.” The words repeat like a metronome. Crash 4801962, area rollup.
Fixes are not theory. Daylight the corners. Give pedestrians a head start with hardened turns. Slow the straightaways on Ocean Parkway and Coney Island Avenue. Target left‑turn failure‑to‑yield with enforcement sweeps at Quentin, Avenue P, and Kings Highway. The same corners, every week. Open Data.
The toll climbs. The city waits.
This year isn’t merciful. In this area, 265 crashes year‑to‑date. Seven people dead. Injuries up 22% over last year’s pace. The youngest are dying: four under 18 this year. Area stats.
Some deaths draw cameras. Most do not. The database has no flowers, no candles. Only fields. “Apparent Death.” “Crush Injuries.” “Crossing With Signal.” Crash 4801962.
Officials know what works — do they?
Albany gave the city the power to slow cars. City Hall can set safer speeds. Advocates pushed, and the council renewed cameras around schools through 2030. But drivers who rack up tickets keep killing. A small group does outsized harm. The fix is on the table: lower speeds citywide and force repeat speeders to obey the limit.
The bill in Albany would require speed‑limiting devices for the worst offenders. It moved in June. Some lawmakers missed votes. Others said no to cameras before. The pattern is public. S 4045. Streetsblog.
What to do now
- Harden turns and daylight at Quentin Rd, Avenue P, Kings Highway. Post LPIs. Enforce failure‑to‑yield. The records point to the spots. Open Data.
- Slow the default. Make 20 the norm on residential streets. Pair with school‑zone cameras that stay on.
- Stop repeat speeders with speed limiters when tickets pile up. S 4045.
Lower speeds. Fewer funerals. If you want it, tell them. Take one minute and act.

Int 0346-2024, now enacted, rewrites New York’s pedestrian rules. The bill, heard by the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, passed on September 26, 2024, and became law on October 26, 2024. Its title: “A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to pedestrian crossing guidelines and right of way.” Sponsored by Council Member Tiffany Cabán and co-sponsored by Narcisse, Won, Hanif, Hudson, and Restler, the law lets pedestrians cross streets anywhere, even against signals. No more tickets for crossing outside crosswalks. The Department of Transportation must educate all street users on new rights and responsibilities. The law removes a tool police used to target walkers. It shifts blame from people on foot to the system and those behind the wheel.
