Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 109?
No More Excuses: Blood on Bowne, Silence at the Top
Precinct 109: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 12, 2025
Broken Bodies, Broken Streets
Three dead. Thirty-eight seriously hurt. That’s just the last twelve months in Precinct 109. The numbers do not bleed, but people do. A 68-year-old woman was killed crossing Reeves Avenue. The cause: “unsafe speed”—the car kept going, she did not. NYC crash data
On Bowne Street, a 63-year-old woman riding her bike was struck and killed by an SUV making a left turn. She was ejected. She never got up. NYC crash data
Last week, an MTA bus in Flushing jumped the curb. Eight people were hurt. “I have a baby with me. That would be scary. I’ll be more cautious of my surroundings,” said one rider, standing on the sidewalk where the bus came to rest. ABC7 report
The Police: Power and Responsibility
Precinct 109 has the tools. They can ticket speeders. They can crack down on reckless turns and failure to yield. They can target crash hotspots. But the numbers keep rising. In the last year, crashes are up nearly 28%. Injuries are up 29%. Serious injuries are up 12%. NYC crash data
Leadership: Promises and Silence
The city has new powers. Speed limits can drop to 20 mph. Cameras can catch speeders day and night. But change is slow. The bus driver in Flushing told police he “misjudged the closeness of the curb.” Later, video showed he may have fallen asleep. The MTA pulled him from service. “It must be very devastating for the people that were on the bus,” said a witness. CBS New York coverage
Local leaders can act. They can demand lower speed limits, more enforcement, and safer street design. Or they can wait for the next siren.
Take Action: Make Them Feel the Heat
Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand action. Every day of delay is another day of risk. The dead do not get second chances. The living must not wait.
