Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 106?

Preventable Speeding in Precinct 106 School Zones

(since 2022)
Liberty Avenue, a body under cars, and a precinct on edge

Liberty Avenue, a body under cars, and a precinct on edge

Precinct 106: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 25, 2025

Saturday afternoon at Liberty Avenue and the Van Wyck service road, two people crossing were hit. A woman was pinned under a car and died, police said (ABC7).

She is one of 23 people killed in traffic crashes within Precinct 106 since 2022, according to city crash records (NYC Open Data). Eight of the dead were people walking. One was on a bike. Most of the rest were inside vehicles (same source).

This year is worse. Through late September, nine people have been killed here, compared with two at this point last year—a 350% jump, by the city’s own data (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • Saturday’s fatal strike happened at Liberty Avenue by the Van Wyck service road; two people crossing were hit, one fatally (ABC7).
  • Aug 27 at Rockaway Boulevard and 97th Street, a 10-year-old girl crossing with the signal was hit and seriously hurt; police recorded driver inexperience and following too closely (NYC Open Data).

Where the blood pools

Liberty Avenue is already on the precinct’s short list of high-injury corridors. So are North Conduit Avenue and the Belt Parkway (NYC Open Data). Nights are hard: deaths cluster in the late hours, including multiple fatalities between 8 PM and 11 PM over this period (same source).

Left turns kill here. In Nov 2023, a bus driver turning left failed to yield and killed a 73-year-old woman in a marked crosswalk at 107th Avenue and 86th Street, police records show (NYC Open Data). Speed kills too. On Jul 31, a driver going straight at unsafe speed struck and killed a 23-year-old man in South Ozone Park, according to the crash report (NYC Open Data).

A precinct’s ledger

Since 2022, people walking have been hit in at least 501 crashes here; eight died and 18 suffered serious injuries (NYC Open Data). People on bikes were in 147 crashes; one died and five were seriously hurt (same source).

The pattern is not abstract. It has names. On the Nassau Expressway in South Ozone Park this month, a roadside construction flag worker was struck and killed; prosecutors say the driver who fled had a license suspended seven times. “The 25-year-old man who fatally hit a safety flag worker was driving on a license that had been suspended seven times,” the Queens DA’s office said (Gothamist).

Fix the corners; slow the cars

The tools are known. Harden the left turns at Liberty Avenue and North Conduit Avenue. Add daylighting and leading pedestrian intervals around the Van Wyck service roads. Aim enforcement at the late-evening hours when deaths pile up. These are basic steps a precinct and DOT can deploy, backed by data from these blocks (NYC Open Data).

The citywide fixes are ready. Lower speeds save lives. New York has the authority to cut limits and curb the worst repeat offenders. Push for a default 20 MPH limit and speed limiters for habitual speeders. The path to do both is laid out here (Take Action).

One woman died on Liberty Avenue. The street will remember. We should too—and act.
