Precinct 109: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 29, 2025

Just before 4 PM on Nov 24 at Kissena Boulevard and Rose Avenue, the driver of an SUV turned right and hit a 63‑year‑old woman and a 68‑year‑old man who were crossing with the signal. Police recorded serious injuries to both (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • On Nov 21 at Colden Street and Elder Avenue, police recorded failure to yield by a left‑turning sedan that injured an 83‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal (NYC Open Data).
  • On Nov 20 near 140 Beech Avenue, a driver in an SUV and a man on a bike collided; the cyclist was injured (NYC Open Data).
  • On Nov 20 at College Point Boulevard and 40 Road, a right‑turning van driver injured a 29‑year‑old man who was crossing with the signal; police recorded failure to yield (NYC Open Data).

The pattern on these streets

Since 2022 in Precinct 109, drivers have killed 14 people walking and injured 1,038 more. Drivers have also killed 3 people on bikes and injured 332; across all modes there have been 27 deaths, 4,648 injuries, and 8,430 crashes (NYC Open Data).

Year to date, crashes are up 11.3% compared with last year, injuries up 17.4%, and serious injuries up 22.5%, while deaths are down 40.0% in this precinct (NYC Open Data).

Nights hit hardest

The 9 PM hour has seen the most people killed in this precinct during the coverage period. Police record 4 deaths in that hour, with 7 PM next at 3 deaths (NYC Open Data).

Turns take people in the crosswalk

Police repeatedly record failure to yield by turning drivers in recent cases: a left turn at Colden and Elder on Nov 21, and a right turn at College Point and 40 Road on Nov 20 (NYC Open Data). Across the period, officers list failure to yield in 103 injury cases here, including 9 serious injuries and 1 death (NYC Open Data).

Where the danger concentrates

Northern Boulevard and College Point Boulevard are among the worst corridors named by police crash records in this precinct. Northern Boulevard shows 3 deaths and 193 injuries; College Point Boulevard shows 2 deaths and 152 injuries (NYC Open Data).

What the record already told us

On Oct 13, two Q27 buses crashed on Sanford Avenue near Bowne Street; “2 MTA buses crash in Flushing, Queens, 19 injured,” reported CBS (CBS New York). AMNY added the detail: one bus “attempted to pass” and rear‑ended the other (amNY).

Fix the turns. Slow the cars.

Concrete steps fit the crashes we see here:

  • Harden and daylight turns at Kissena and Rose, Colden and Elder, and College Point and 40 Road; add leading pedestrian intervals and turn‑calming where drivers fail to yield (NYC Open Data).
  • Target evening enforcement at known hot hours and corridors like Northern Boulevard and College Point Boulevard, with failure‑to‑yield operations at signals (NYC Open Data).

Citywide tools exist. New York can lower speed limits under Sammy’s Law and require speed limiters for repeat speeders under the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C). Both changes are laid out here.

Who must answer for this map

This is Precinct 109, represented by Council Member Sandra Ung, Assembly Member Nily Rozic, and State Senator Toby Stavisky. The bills and policies above are live options in New York. Will they use them? The injuries on Kissena, Colden, and College Point are not abstractions. They are names in a log, at corners we all know.

One step you can take now: tell City Hall and Albany to slow the cars and rein in repeat speeders. Start here.
