Precinct 104: bikes crushed, bodies ejected, and a line on Maurice Avenue
Precinct 104: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Precinct 104 covers Maspeth, Ridgewood, Glendale, and Middle Village. Since 2022, people here have been hit 4,911 times. Twenty‑one are dead. Another 2,826 are hurt. Heavy vehicles are a big share of the harm: trucks and buses figure in 29 serious pedestrian cases and three of the deaths, while SUVs and cars account for 357 pedestrian injuries and one death. The numbers come from the city’s crash database.
- Total since 2022: 4,911 crashes; 21 dead; 2,826 injured.
- Who’s struck on foot: SUVs/cars led to 357 injuries and one death; trucks to 19 pedestrian cases with three deaths.
- Peak pain: deaths spike in the late day, with the worst at 4 p.m. (NYC Open Data).
Maurice Avenue: a cyclist didn’t make it home
On February 22, 2024, a driver in a box truck going straight hit a man on a bike on Maurice Avenue. He died of head and crush injuries. He was 47. A parked SUV was listed in the record too. The city logged it as a fatal bike crash with a truck involved and a parked vehicle on the scene (CrashID 4705063).
Maurice is one of the precinct’s worst sites, with three deaths and 40 injuries tallied to that corridor since 2022 (top intersections).
80th Street: a turn, a truck, a killed cyclist
On April 19, 2025, at Juniper Blvd North and 80th Street, a box truck turned right. A man on a bike was killed. He was 54. The city record lists “traffic control disregarded” for the bicyclist and a right‑turning truck that left him with crush injuries. One person in the truck was injured. The bike was recorded as demolished. He died at the scene (CrashID 4807280).
The 80th Street location is among the top danger spots here, with three deaths since 2022 (top intersections).
High‑speed bodies on asphalt
Motorcycles keep turning the roadway into a morgue slab. On June 1, 2024, a 26‑year‑old motorcyclist hit the back of a truck on the Long Island Expressway. He was ejected and died (CrashID 4729766). On November 1, 2024, at Eliot Avenue and 69th Street, a 39‑year‑old unlicensed motorcyclist struck a Kia making a left. He was ejected and died (CrashID 4768223). On June 26, 2025, a 39‑year‑old died on the Jackie Robinson Parkway, also ejected. The record lists a 2010 Harley‑Davidson and “apparent death” at the scene (CrashID 4823332).
The clock speaks
The worst hour for deaths here is 4 p.m., with four lives lost. Five more deaths cluster between 5 and 6 p.m. Another two at 10 a.m., two at 5 p.m., two at 6 p.m., and one at 8 p.m. Harm doesn’t sleep; midnight and 2 a.m. take lives too. Injuries pile up through the afternoon, peaking at 3–5 p.m. (hourly distribution).
Trucks, turns, and service roads
- Top danger corridors since 2022 include the Long Island Expressway (one death, 203 injuries) and Jackie Robinson Parkway (one death, 182 injuries).
- Maurice Avenue accounts for three deaths.
- Contributing factors the city flags most here fall under “other,” with two deaths tied to “vulnerable road user error.” The dataset shows little admitted speeding, but the bodies and crushed frames speak loud (small‑area analysis).
Simple fixes that stop the bleed
- Daylight corners and add hardened right turns on Maurice, 80th, and Eliot so trucks can’t sweep through people in the crosswalk or the bike line.
- Give people on foot a head start with leading pedestrian intervals at the known hot spots.
- Tighten truck routing and targeted enforcement at the worst hours on the expressway service roads and Maurice.
Citywide brakes that save lives
Albany renewed 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras through 2030. The city also has new power under Sammy’s Law to lower speeds. Advocates want 20 mph as the default. Our own newsroom has called for it. “Speed kills. You know it,” we wrote. “Lower our residential speed limit to 20 mph” (Take Action).
A tiny group of drivers do huge harm. Vehicles with 16 camera tickets in a year are twice as likely to kill or seriously injure; 30+ tickets raises the risk fifty‑fold, according to reporting advocates cite. The proposed Stop Super Speeders Act would force those drivers to use speed‑limiting tech (Streetsblog analysis and bill details linked in our action guide).
One choice today
Lower speeds. Rein in repeat offenders. Redesign the turns that kill. Start here. Start now. Act.
