Precinct 105: Three crashes in a week, one man dead last month
Precinct 105: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 15, 2025
A driver backed a Toyota sedan into a man on an e‑bike on 260 St in the afternoon on Oct 10. Police recorded driver inattention and a chest injury to the rider. Source.
This Week
- Oct 9: A driver in a pickup hit a 19‑year‑old crossing with the signal at Hillside Ave and 208 St; police noted glare. Source
- Oct 6: A driver in a 2024 SUV turned left and hit a man on a bike at Jamaica Ave and 214 Pl. Source
- Sept 22: A driver in a sedan hit and killed a 36‑year‑old on an e‑bike at 115 Ave and 227 St. Source
The toll does not let up
Since Jan 1, 2022, Precinct 105 has recorded 16 deaths, 3,112 injuries, and 5,097 crashes. Source.
People outside cars carry the harm. In this precinct, drivers have killed 6 people walking and 1 person on a bike, and injured 351 people walking and 82 people on bikes. Source.
The danger peaks at night. Police data show the hour around 8 PM has seen the most deaths. Source.
Where the bodies fall
The Cross Island Parkway stands out: 5 deaths and 634 injuries tied to crashes there. Jamaica Avenue and Hillside Ave also see heavy harm. Source.
Police repeatedly record driver inattention and failure to yield in precinct crashes. These are choices drivers make. Source.
What leaders can do today
This year alone, New York City has logged 34,972 school‑zone speed‑camera tickets that would have been prevented if repeat speeders were forced to slow down after crossing the enforcement threshold. That figure is citywide, but those cars drive here. Source.
There are tools on the table:
- Lower default speeds citywide under Sammy’s Law.
- Pass the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) to require intelligent speed limiters for habitual offenders.
Local officials for this area are Council Member Linda Lee, Assembly Member Ed Braunstein, and State Senator Toby Stavisky. Our record shows no documented sponsorship by these officials of the speed‑limiter bill. What gives?
Fix the deadly corners and corridors
Precinct 105 can target enforcement and design at known trouble spots:
- Cross Island Parkway: sustained enforcement against speeding and aggressive driving; barrier and merge‑area upgrades.
- Jamaica Avenue and Hillside Ave: daylighting, hardened turns, and leading pedestrian intervals to back up failure‑to‑yield enforcement.
- Night hours: focused operations around 8 PM at repeat hotspots.
The crashes above are not outliers. They are the week. The month. The years. If you want slower streets and fewer sirens, take one step now: speak up and push the city to act.
