Rockaway’s open wound: three pedestrian deaths, no margin for error
Precinct 100: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
The Rockaways keep taking the hit. In Precinct 100, people on foot are dying on the big roads: three pedestrian deaths since 2022, with 84 injured. SUVs and sedans do most of the damage. The toll lives on long corridors where speed feels free and space is wide.
- Beach Channel Drive.
- Cross Bay Boulevard.
- Rockaway Beach Boulevard.
Police and hospital logs show the hurt spikes at the edges of day and into the night — the 7 a.m. rush, the late afternoon push, and a hard rise at 9–10 p.m. and 2–3 a.m.
Cross Bay, two deaths, one bridge
A person walking on the North Channel Bridge was hit just after 2 a.m. The SUV was going straight north on Cross Bay Boulevard. The pedestrian died at the scene. The data lists the cause as “Unspecified.” The body went to the Medical Examiner. The road stayed open. NYC Open Data
On another night, a 27‑year‑old driver died at East 1 Road and Cross Bay. The records say unsafe speed and alcohol involvement. One car. One body. NYC Open Data
Cross Bay shows up in the precinct’s hot spots with two deaths and 28 injuries. It is a long, straight shot to pain. NYC Open Data
Rockaway Beach Boulevard: a night kill
On Rockaway Beach Boulevard at Beach 87th, a 27‑year‑old man was struck and killed at night. Two sedans were in the record. The factor noted is aggressive driving/road rage. Another life gone. NYC Open Data
The corridor racks up 58 injuries tied to crashes. It keeps its place on the precinct’s list of worst locations. NYC Open Data
Beach Channel: injuries stack up
Beach Channel Drive leads the board with 60 injuries and two serious wounds. It is the everyday site of glass, sirens, and forms. In July, two SUVs going west collided at the Jacob Riis Park driveway; the driver listed with back crush injuries. Factors: improper lane use and improper turn. NYC Open Data
Night, speed, and the bodies in the count
In this precinct, the heaviest injury hours sit at the commute — 7 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 6 p.m. — and then again after dark: 9–10 p.m., 8–9 p.m., 2–3 a.m. The roll‑up blames the big buckets we know: “other,” vulnerable user error, distraction, failure to yield. Speed is in the fatal files. The worst harm to people walking comes from sedans and SUVs, which together are tied to most deaths and injuries. NYC Open Data
A hit‑and‑run near JFK shows what’s loose
A 52‑year‑old man was crossing 155th Street at South Conduit Avenue near JFK at 2:30 a.m. A driver hit him and fled. “The driver sped off without stopping. No arrests have been made,” police said. Detectives searched for video. NY Daily News Gothamist ABC7
What would make it stop here
- Daylight the corners on Beach Channel, Rockaway Beach Blvd, and Cross Bay. Clear the sight lines.
- Hardened left turns and leading pedestrian intervals at the Beach 80s and 90s, and the bridge mouths. Slower entries. Slower exits.
- Night focus. Targeted speed and failure‑to‑yield enforcement in the 8 p.m.–10 p.m. and 2 a.m.–3 a.m. bands.
Citywide levers that matter on these blocks
The open‑data files are full of speed. The headlines are full of bodies. A speeding car hit two men at a Queens food truck. The men died. The driver died too. CBS New York
There is a tool to slow the city. Lower the default speed limit. Use it. And stop the worst repeat offenders. The state bill on the table would force drivers with long rap sheets of tickets or points to use speed limiters that cap the car to the limit plus five. It aims at the tiny slice that does outsized harm. Take Action
Accountability, in plain sight
Wrong‑way. High speed. Late‑night flight. The record speaks. “Joseph Lee terrorized other drivers as he purposefully drove the wrong way on a busy Queens highway,” the Queens DA said. A jury convicted him. He told police he “wanted to hurt people.” He got eight years. amNY
This precinct is not a map. It is Beach Channel. It is Cross Bay. It is Rockaway Beach Boulevard. Names that keep showing up in the log.
Act. Join your neighbors. Push the city to slow the cars and rein in the repeat speeders. Start here: Take Action.
