Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 107?
Three Dead, Hundreds Hurt—Queens Streets Still Waiting for Action
Precinct 107: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
The Toll in Plain Sight
Three dead. Eight seriously hurt. In the past year, the streets of Precinct 107 have not spared the young or the old. A 20-year-old cyclist was killed on 164th Street, struck by an SUV. A 21-year-old passenger died after being thrown from a moped on 73rd Avenue. A 73-year-old man lost his life behind the wheel on the Long Island Expressway. The numbers do not flinch: 1,292 crashes, 838 injuries, 8 serious injuries, 3 deaths—all in just the last twelve months (NYC Open Data).
Recent Crashes, Unanswered
Last summer, a young man on a bike was hit and killed by a Jeep SUV on 164th Street. He was ejected. He died at the scene. No helmet, no armor, just flesh and bone against steel (NYC Open Data).
In August, a moped passenger was thrown and killed. The crash report lists one cause: unsafe speed (NYC Open Data).
On Union Turnpike, a pedestrian was struck while pushing a car. He did not survive. The street did not forgive a moment’s distraction (NYC Open Data).
Leadership: Promises and Silence
Local leaders have the tools. They can lower speed limits, redesign streets, and enforce the law. But the pace is slow. The city has started to roll out 20 mph zones and expand speed cameras, but not everywhere, not fast enough. The police can crack down on speeding, failure to yield, and reckless driving. They can target crash hotspots. They just need to act.
After a recent bus crash in Queens, a passenger described the chaos: “I was all the way in the back and all of a sudden the bus hit the curb… I went this way and that way and banged into the side of the bus.” Another rider called it “very devastating for the people that were on the bus.”
What Comes Next
Every crash is preventable. Every death is a failure. The police in Precinct 107 can enforce the law. Local leaders can set safer speeds and redesign deadly streets. Residents can demand action. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Do not wait for another name to become a number.
