Left turns, broken bodies: Precinct 109’s slow bleed
Precinct 109: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 1, 2025
A man crossing at College Point Blvd and 41 Ave went down after a driver changed lanes and hit him on Sep 26. Police recorded him as 69, conscious, with an abrasion to his arm NYC Open Data.
This Week
- A driver in an SUV entered a parked position and hit a woman on an e‑bike at Franklin Ave and Union St on Sep 26 NYC Open Data.
- A left‑turning SUV hit a 3‑year‑old girl and a 28‑year‑old woman who were crossing with the signal at Elder Ave and Main St on Sep 25; both were recorded with crush injuries NYC Open Data.

The count in this precinct
Since Jan 1, 2022, crashes in Precinct 109 total 8,010, with 4,362 injured and 27 dead, including 109 serious injuries NYC Open Data. People walking bear a heavy share: 14 pedestrians and 3 people on bikes are among the dead here; hundreds more are hurt NYC Open Data.
The danger clusters. Whitestone Expressway and Northern Boulevard are among the worst corridors named in this precinct’s records, along with College Point Boulevard and Main St NYC Open Data.
The pattern at the corner
Left turns keep breaking bodies. Police records list “failure to yield” by drivers in at least 100 injury cases here since 2022, with 1 death tied to that factor NYC Open Data.
Nights are cruel. The death count peaks around 9 PM in this precinct’s hourly breakdown, with additional spikes at the evening rush and later hours NYC Open Data.
Known fixes, delayed at the curb
Precinct 109 can target the turns and crosswalks that keep showing up. Hardened left‑turns, daylighting at corners, and leading pedestrian intervals at the signals would slow drivers and give people on foot a head start. Focused enforcement on failure‑to‑yield at recurring corners—College Point Blvd at 41 Ave; Main St at Elder Ave—would meet the data where it is NYC Open Data.
Citywide tools exist. The city can lower more streets to 20 MPH under Sammy’s Law, and Albany has a bill to force repeat speeders to install speed limiters. The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would require an intelligent speed‑assistance device after 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year, capping speeds to the limit plus 5 MPH CrashCount Take Action.
Who will move first?
This precinct sits in Council District 20, Assembly District 25, and State Senate District 11. Will Council Member Sandra Ung, Assembly Member Nily Rozic, and State Senator Toby Stavisky back and push these steps now? The injuries keep coming. The corners are known.
One more turn. One more body in the crosswalk. It does not have to stay this way. Take one concrete step: ask your reps to slow the streets and rein in repeat speeders here.
