Eight Dead, Countless Broken—Precinct 111 Streets Are Killing Fields
Precinct 111: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll: Death on Familiar Streets
A man steps off the curb. A sedan does not stop. In Precinct 111, the story repeats. Eight people killed. Twenty left with injuries so severe they may never walk the same. In the last twelve months alone, three families lost someone forever. One was a child. One was a senior. One was a neighbor who never made it home. NYC Open Data
Cars and SUVs do most of the killing. In this precinct, sedans and SUVs are the weapons in nearly every pedestrian death. Trucks and vans add to the count. Bikes and motorcycles do not. The numbers do not lie. The street is not safe for the old, the young, or anyone in between.
The Pattern: No End in Sight
Crashes do not slow down. Over 1,100 crashes in the last year. Six hundred forty-five injuries. Five left with life-changing wounds. The faces change, but the pattern does not. A sedan on Utopia Parkway. An SUV on the Cross Island. A truck on the Long Island Expressway. The names fade. The pain does not.
Speed and distraction kill. The data shows it. Unsafe speed. Driver inattention. These are not accidents. They are choices. The cost is paid in blood and bone.
The Response: Leadership on the Line
Local leaders have the power. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. The city can lower speed limits to 20 mph. Cameras can catch speeders. The police can write tickets for reckless driving, for failing to yield, for speeding past schools. But the pace is slow. The deaths are not.
Precinct 111 can do more. The tools are there. Crack down on speeding. Target the hotspots. Protect the crosswalks. Every ticket is a warning. Every warning is a life that might be spared.
Act Now: Demand Action Before the Next Siren
Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand lower speed limits, more enforcement, and safer streets. Do not wait for another child’s name in the news. The disaster is slow, but it is relentless. Only action will stop it.
