Blood on the Boulevard: Deadly Streets Demand Action Now

Blood on the Boulevard: Deadly Streets Demand Action Now

Precinct 104: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

The Toll in Blood and Silence

A man on a bicycle, crushed under the wheels of an FDNY truck at Juniper Boulevard North and 80th Street. He died where he fell. Police said, “The bicyclist was an adult male who was pronounced dead at the scene” (ABC7).

A 23-year-old woman, Breanna Henderson, struck crossing Myrtle Avenue at Woodhaven Boulevard. She never made it home. “A 23-year-old woman died after a motorcycle rider ran over her as she was crossing the street in Queens early Friday morning, police said” (NY Daily News).

In the last twelve months, four people died in crashes in Precinct 104. Ten more suffered serious injuries. The numbers do not stop. In that same year, there were 707 injuries and 1,207 crashes (Motor Vehicle Collisions). Each number is a name, a family, a life split open on the street.

Who Bears the Weight?

Trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, bikes. The dead and injured are not just numbers. They are children, workers, elders. The city counts them, but the counting does not stop the bleeding. The police have the tools: tickets for speeding, for failing to yield, for reckless turns. They know the hotspots. They know the hours. They know the names.

But the silence is heavy. No new laws from local leaders. No bold action from the precinct. The city talks of Vision Zero, but the bodies keep coming. The police can act. They can enforce the law. They can slow the cars. They can protect the crossings. They just need to know it matters.

What Comes Next

This is not fate. Every crash is a choice, a failure to act. The police can crack down on speeding and reckless driving. The city can redesign streets and lower speed limits. The leaders can speak, or they can stay silent. The blood on the street will tell the story either way.

Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand action. Do not wait for another name on the list. Do not let silence win.
