Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 107?

Precinct 107: Night streets, hard endings

Precinct 107: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025

Another driver. Same ending.

  • A 61-year-old man died on Union Turnpike at 189th Street, not at an intersection. Police listed him as a pedestrian. Two sedans were involved. Time stamp: 8:26 p.m. NYC Open Data CrashID 4834595.
  • On the Long Island Expressway at 1:40 a.m., a 32-year-old woman died riding in a sedan. CrashID 4773456. NYC Open Data.
  • A 21-year-old passenger was ejected and killed at 73rd Avenue and 184th Street. A moped and an SUV collided. 6:32 p.m. CrashID 4750201. NYC Open Data.
  • A 73-year-old limo driver died on the L.I.E. before dawn. Three vehicles in the report. 5:35 a.m. CrashID 4716969. NYC Open Data.

These are only four of the thirteen dead since 2022 in the 107th. The rest live in the rows of numbers.

Speed rules the big roads.

Nights are the danger hours.

  • Injury spikes hit late. Midnight shows 119 injuries. 1 a.m. brings 2 deaths. 2 a.m. brings 1 death and 4 serious injuries. Dawn at 5 a.m.: 1 death. Commute hours kill too—8 a.m. and 9 a.m. each show deaths. NYC Open Data.

The pattern does not break.

  • In the last 12 months: 1,550 crashes, 4 dead, 991 injured. This year to date: 1,053 crashes, 1 dead, 652 injured. Crashes are up 36% over last year’s pace. PeriodStats.
  • “Driver Inattention/Distraction” appears in fatal records. So does “Driver Inexperience.” Most cases are coded “Unspecified.” The bodies are not. NYC Open Data.

A highway built for speed invites worse.

  • Queens prosecutors described one case on the Clearview Expressway. “Joseph Lee terrorized other drivers as he purposefully drove the wrong way on a busy Queens highway and crashed into multiple cars.” He said, “I entered the Clearview Expressway in the wrong direction because I wanted to hurt people and I felt ‘liberated’ by what I had done.” He told a victim, “You want to fight?” He got eight years. amNY.

Three corners. One fix.

Officials know what works — do they?

  • NYC now has the power to set safer speeds. The ask is simple: a default 20 mph on local streets, citywide. The city can do it. The choice is the point. Take Action.
  • Habitual speeders drive the worst outcomes. Advocates back a state bill to force intelligent speed assistance on repeat offenders. The aim is to stop the small share who do the big harm. Take Action.

Names become numbers. The tape goes up. The blood washes away. The pattern stays. The tools sit on the table. Use them.
