Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 106?
Another Day, Another Body: Demand Action on Precinct 106’s Killing Streets
Precinct 106: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Fourteen dead. Forty seriously hurt. That’s the toll in Precinct 106 since 2022. The bodies are not numbers. They are neighbors, children, elders. In the last twelve months alone, seven people died and 16 suffered injuries so grave they may never walk the same. Crashes are not rare here. They are routine.
The Latest Crashes: No End in Sight
On July 5th, a BMW lost control on the Belt Parkway. The car hit the median, went airborne, and slammed into two other vehicles. Two people died. Three more were thrown from the car and left broken on the asphalt. The NYPD said, “Thompson later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead, police said.” amny. The investigation is ongoing. The road is unchanged.
Just weeks before, a 25-year-old moped rider was killed at 121st Street and 149th Avenue. He was ejected and crushed. No one has been charged. The street is the same.
Who Bears the Risk?
Most victims are not behind the wheel. Pedestrians and cyclists take the brunt. Cars and SUVs caused the most harm: three deaths, over 350 injuries. Trucks and buses killed one, hurt 20 more. Motorcycles and mopeds killed one, left others bleeding. Even bikes are not blameless, but their toll is a drop in the flood.
What Has Been Done? What Hasn’t?
Local leaders talk safety. The carnage continues. The city has new powers to lower speed limits. Cameras catch speeders day and night. But the streets in Precinct 106 are still killing fields. Police have the tools: they can ticket speeders, crack down on reckless drivers, target crash hotspots. They just need to act.
A survivor said, “I have a baby with me. That would be scary. I’ll be more cautious of my surroundings.” CBS New York. But caution is not enough. The danger is built into the street.
Call to Action: Demand More Than Words
This is not fate. It is policy. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand enforcement. Demand safer streets. Every day of delay is another family shattered.
