The ledger in 104

Since 2022, Precinct 104 has logged 24 deaths, 3,681 injuries, and 6,539 crashes (NYC Open Data). This year to date, crashes fell from 1,382 to 1,246, but deaths doubled from 3 to 6, and serious injuries rose from 11 to 20 (same source).

Trucks loom large in the worst outcomes for people on foot. In this precinct’s records, trucks were involved in 5 pedestrian deaths since 2022 (NYC Open Data).

Corners that keep breaking people

One stretch stands out: 80 Street has seen 3 deaths and 22 injuries since 2022 (precinct rollup from NYC Open Data). City records also tie severe harm to the Long Island Expressway and Jackie Robinson Parkway corridors in this command (same source).

The hour matters. The 4 PM hour is the deadliest in these logs, with 4 deaths recorded there since 2022 (NYC Open Data).

What police wrote down

Police cited a driver’s failure to yield when the cyclist went down at Onderdonk and Palmetto on Oct 27 here. On Oct 11, 2023, at 60 Road and Fresh Pond Road, a driver making a right turn killed a 75‑year‑old woman; officers recorded failure to yield in that case too (CrashID 4669744). On Apr 19, 2025, a cyclist was killed on Juniper Blvd North; police listed “traffic control disregarded” by those involved (CrashID 4807280).

Make the dangerous moves hard to do

The fixes are known and local. Hardened right turns and daylighting at 80 Street and other recurring sites. Leading pedestrian intervals and protected crossings along truck routes like Maurice Avenue. Targeted truck enforcement at the afternoon peak.

Then make the citywide changes that stop the worst harm. Lower speeds save lives. Mandate speed limiters for repeat camera violators. Those actions are laid out now in our citywide call to action here.
