4 AM on Roosevelt Avenue
Precinct 110: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 11, 2025
Just after 4 AM on Sep 13, 2025, at Roosevelt Avenue and Benham Street, a driver in a Chevy SUV going east hit a 16-year-old girl. She died at the scene, and another woman was hurt. Police records for that crash note alcohol and aggressive driving as factors NYC Open Data.
She is one of 29 people killed on 110th Precinct streets since 2022, including 17 people walking and one person on a bike. Another 3,569 were injured NYC Open Data.
Where the blood pools
The worst pain sits on the highways and the big arterials. The Long Island Expressway, Roosevelt Avenue, the Van Wyck Expressway, and Grand Central Parkway together account for the heaviest toll, including multiple deaths on each corridor NYC Open Data.
Nights are deadly. The 4 AM hour has seen three deaths. So have 8 AM and 4 PM. The 3 AM and 10 PM hours follow close behind NYC Open Data.
What police record
In this precinct’s serious crashes, police most often cite human choices we can fix. They recorded alcohol involvement in deadly cases. They recorded drivers blowing past signals. They recorded aggressive driving. They recorded failures to yield that left people hurt in crosswalks NYC Open Data.
Fix the corners. Slow the cars.
Start where people keep getting hit. On Roosevelt Avenue and along the expressway service roads, daylight the corners, give pedestrians a head start, harden the turns, and narrow the lanes. Target right turns where trucks swing wide. Aim enforcement at crosswalk failure-to-yield and late-night speeding on known hotspots NYC Open Data.
Then do the simple citywide work. Lower the default speed limit on local streets and stop repeat speeders with mandatory limiters. Both steps are laid out here with how to press for them CrashCount Take Action.
Local officials know this ground. Council Member Shekar Krishnan, Assembly Member Sam Berger, and State Senator Toby Stavisky represent these blocks. The deaths keep coming. The tools exist. What gives?
One girl died before sunrise on Roosevelt Avenue. Don’t wait for the next one. Act here CrashCount Take Action.
