Precinct 111: Twelve Dead, The Same Roads
Precinct 111: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 31, 2025
Just after 2 PM on Jul 31, 2025, a 55-year-old cyclist riding straight on Hollis Court Blvd at 50 Ave was struck by a left-turning SUV. She died at the scene (NYC Open Data).
They were one of 12 people killed on streets in Precinct 111 since Jan 1, 2022 (NYC Open Data). This year to date: 3 deaths and 951 crashes, up 29.2% from 736 last year to date (NYC Open Data).
A left turn, a life gone
The crash record lists the cyclist “ejected,” the SUV “making left turn,” and “apparent death.” The fields are clinical. The loss is not (NYC Open Data).
On these precinct streets, drivers turning and going straight hit people on foot and on bikes. The datasets show recurring factors like inattention and failure to yield among the named entries, and unsafe speed in multiple fatal cases, including a 24-year-old killed on the Cross Island Parkway about 2:30 AM on Aug 26, 2025 (NYC Open Data).
The map doesn’t lie
The worst injuries and deaths stack up on the same corridors: the Cross Island Parkway, the Long Island Expressway, and the Clearview Expressway (NYC Open Data). Northern Blvd and Francis Lewis Blvd also show steady harm.
Deaths in this precinct land at harsh hours: 2 AM. 3 AM. 5 AM. 8 AM. Afternoon and evening too — 1 PM, 2 PM, 6 PM, 7 PM, 10 PM. The clock keeps time; the pattern keeps score (NYC Open Data).
What Precinct 111 can hit now
Known hot spots demand steady attention: Cross Island Pkwy, Long Island Expy, Clearview Expy. Target speeding on and off the ramps. Enforce yielding at turns on Northern Blvd. Daylight corners and harden turns at problem intersections. These are the places where people bleed. The records are clear (NYC Open Data).
Citywide steps within reach
Lower speeds save lives. New York City can set safer defaults and rein in repeat speeders. Two steps matter here: drop the default speed on local streets and require speed limiters for drivers who rack up violations. Both are on the table; both would cut harm that shows up in this precinct’s rolls. Read how to press those changes and who to call today here.
Who must answer
This is Council District 20, Assembly District 24, and State Senate District 11. The names are Council Member Sandra Ung, Assembly Member David Weprin, and State Senator Toby Stavisky. The repeat-speeder bill and citywide speed policy are live fights. Will they back them? The deaths are on their map as well as ours (NYC Open Data).
Take one step now. Tell City Hall and Albany you want slower streets and speed limiters. Start here: Take Action.
