Precinct 106: Night streets. Hard hits. No mercy.
Precinct 106: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- A 52-year-old man crossing 155th Street at South Conduit Avenue near JFK was hit around 2:30 a.m. The driver fled. He died at the hospital. Police said, “The operator of the vehicle fled the scene.” Detectives searched for footage. No arrest.
- On Lefferts Boulevard at 115th Avenue, a sedan driver disregarded traffic control and struck two people off the intersection. A 51-year-old woman died. A child was hurt. The dataset lists the cause: “Traffic Control Disregarded.”
The map does not lie. The body count sits in the rows.
Where the road bites back
The worst pain repeats. Belt Parkway leads the list: five deaths, 422 injuries since 2022. Belt Parkway. North Conduit Avenue follows: two deaths, 204 injuries. North Conduit Avenue. Lefferts Boulevard is on the board too.
Nights are deadly. From 7 p.m. to 3 a.m., deaths stack up: 7 p.m. (one), 8 p.m. (three), 9 p.m. (one), 10 p.m. (two), 11 p.m. (three), midnight (zero), 1 a.m. (zero), 2 a.m. (zero), 3 a.m. (one). Injuries stay high through the evening hours. Open data shows the pattern.
“Unsafe speed” keeps showing up in the ledger. It is listed in fatal crashes on the Belt and local streets alike. A July 5 Belt Parkway wreck killed two and injured two more. The line for contributing factor reads: “Unsafe Speed.”
People on foot take the hit
Since 2022 in this precinct: seven pedestrians killed, 435 injured. Sedans and SUVs do most of the harm to people on foot: sedans linked to 172 pedestrian injuries with three deaths; SUVs to 161 injuries with one death. Vehicle rollup and causes here.
The open-data record at Lefferts and 115th says both victims were “not at intersection.” That is how service roads and long blocks work. People cross where the life is. The cars don’t stop. CrashID 4782691.
Quotes that don’t let you look away
“Police are investigating the death of a 52-year-old man… The operator of the vehicle fled the scene.” ABC7
“A hit-and-run driver killed a 52-year-old man… The driver sped off without stopping. No arrests have been made.” NY Daily News
“NYPD data shows 17 people died in traffic crashes this year through Aug. 10 in the Queens South Patrol Borough.” Gothamist
Three corners. One fix.
- Belt Parkway: deaths and wrecks pile up. Slow it. Enforce it at night. Hotspot data.
- North Conduit Avenue: long, fast, deadly. Add daylighting and hardened turns at feeders. Mark crossings where people already cross. Hotspot data.
- Lefferts at 115th: a pedestrian killed off the corner. Install raised crossings and a leading walk phase. Protect the line of sight. Crash record.
The common thread in fatal files here is speed and night. Target the hours that kill. The city knows how to do that.
Officials know what works — do they?
Albany renewed 24-hour school-zone speed cameras through 2030, locking in the tool that cuts speeding where it watches. That fight is won. The next ones are lower speeds and repeat offenders. Take Action.
City lawmakers have the power to set safer speeds. Advocates call for a default 20 mph limit and for intelligent speed assistance on cars that rack up tickets. These are the levers that stop the worst harm. The pattern here—unsafe speed, nighttime, service roads—points to one answer: slow the cars down and keep them down. Take Action.
