Late‑day crash on 195th and 119th: another wound in St. Albans

St. Albans: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 29, 2025

Just before dusk on Oct 21, at 195th St and 119th Ave, a driver in a sedan hit a person on a bike. The rider was injured. NYC Open Data

This Week

  • Oct 17: A driver hit a 53‑year‑old woman at Farmers Blvd and Denis St; police recorded “crossing against signal.” She lived. NYC Open Data
  • Sept 27: A 34‑year‑old man on a motorcycle was killed at Linden Blvd and Francis Lewis Blvd; police recorded failure to yield and distraction. NYC Open Data
  • Sept 16: A 16‑year‑old girl crossing with the signal was hit at Farmers Blvd and 113th Ave. She survived. NYC Open Data

The toll doesn’t pause

Since Jan 1, 2022, St. Albans has seen 1,959 crashes, injuring 1,201 people and killing 3. NYC Open Data

People walking were hurt 169 times. People on bikes were hurt 47 times. Police recorded serious injuries 15 times. NYC Open Data

Harm piles up in the evening. Injuries spike around 4–7 PM, with more pain at 6–7 PM than any other hour. NYC Open Data

Corners that keep bleeding

Francis Lewis Blvd is a top hotspot, with a death and repeated serious injuries. Farmers Boulevard is another, with scores hurt. NYC Open Data

Police reports name failure to yield and driver inattention again and again. These are choices, not fate. NYC Open Data

What helps here is simple and near at hand: daylighting at corners, hardened lefts on Francis Lewis and Farmers, leading pedestrian intervals, and calm traffic with narrower lanes and speed humps on 119th, 113th, and 120th. Targeted enforcement at the evening peak. The same streets, but slower.

The power sits with our officials

City Hall can lower speeds. Sammy’s Law gave that power. A 20 MPH default on residential streets takes the edge off the hits. The ask is clear and ready now. /take_action/

Albany can curb repeat speeders. The Stop Super Speeders bill would force the worst offenders to use speed limiters after a pattern of tickets. /take_action/

Here, Council Member Nantasha M. Williams is pushing an enforcement bill on commuter vans (Int 1347‑2025). NYC Council – Legistar

In the State Senate, Leroy Comrie voted yes in committee on a speed‑limiter bill and is a co‑sponsor, according to the record in our timeline. In the Assembly, Clyde Vanel voted yes to extend protections in school speed zones (S 8344). Open States

The streets don’t lie. The hits keep coming at the same hours and the same corners. Lower the speeds. Box out the turns. Make the next 6 PM different from the last.

Take one step today: tell City Hall and Albany to act. /take_action/

Int 1347-2025 Williams is primary sponsor of unlicensed commuter van crackdown, worsening overall safety.
▸

Aug 14 - Int 1347-2025 orders TLC, NYPD and DOT to use a compliance checklist and levy maximum fines on unlicensed commuter vans. Punitive enforcement may cut informal transit, push riders to cars and ride‑hail, and raise vehicle volumes that endanger pedestrians and cyclists.

Bill: Int 1347-2025. Status: Sponsorship; sits in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Introduced and referred August 14, 2025. The matter: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to enforcing violations against unlicensed commuter vans." Primary sponsor Nantasha M. Williams; co-sponsors Selvena N. Brooks-Powers, Mercedes Narcisse, and Chris Banks. The law orders TLC, with NYPD and DOT, to maintain a checklist and requires officers to issue maximum fines for each violation. It takes effect 120 days after enactment. A safety assessment warns this punitive approach may reduce informal transit in underserved areas, shift trips to private cars and ride‑hail, and increase traffic volumes that endanger pedestrians and cyclists; it adds policing without system-wide safety gains.

Int 1347-2025 Williams sponsors unlicensed commuter vans crackdown bill, worsening overall street safety.
▸

Aug 14 - Int 1347-2025 orders TLC, NYPD and DOT to cite unlicensed commuter vans and levy maximum fines. It will likely shrink shared rides in transit deserts. Trips will shift to private cars and ride-hail. Pedestrians and cyclists face more exposure on the street.

Int 1347-2025 is at SPONSORSHIP and sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure after introduction on August 14, 2025. The matter is titled, "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to enforcing violations against unlicensed commuter vans." Primary sponsor Nantasha M. Williams introduced the bill. Co-sponsors Selvena N. Brooks-Powers, Mercedes Narcisse, Chris Banks, and Farah N. Louis joined her. The bill orders TLC, with NYPD and DOT, to maintain a compliance checklist and requires officers to issue maximum penalties for every listed violation. Analysts warn punitive enforcement and steep fines will likely reduce shared transit options in transit deserts, push trips to private cars and ride-hail, and increase traffic exposure for pedestrians and cyclists, prioritizing policing over safer operations or street redesign without clear system-wide safety gains.

Man Killed By Driver In Queens Street
▸

Aug 1 - A car struck and killed a 23-year-old man on 101st Street. The driver sped off after an encounter at the window. Police found the victim with severe trauma. He died at Jamaica Hospital.

According to the New York Post (2025-08-01), a 23-year-old man died after being run over on 101st Street and Liberty Boulevard in Queens. The article reports, "Sonalall approached the driver's side window and flashed what appeared to be a gun, startling the motorist, who then drove off, striking Sonalall." The Queens District Attorney's Office did not charge the driver, citing fear for his life. The incident highlights the lethal risk when vehicles are used in moments of conflict. No charges were filed, raising questions about how self-defense is interpreted in car-related deaths.
