Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 111?
Ten Dead, Thousands Hurt—Precinct 111 Bleeds While Leaders Stand Still
Precinct 111: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Toll in Plain Sight
In Precinct 111, the numbers do not lie. Ten people have died on these streets since 2022. Another 2,200 have been injured. Twenty-two suffered wounds so grave they will never be the same. The dead include children, elders, and those just trying to cross the street.
Just weeks ago, a 74-year-old man was killed at Northern Boulevard and 217th Street. The SUV that hit him kept going straight. He did not. NYC Open Data
The Pattern: Cars, Speed, and Silence
SUVs and sedans do most of the killing. Of the pedestrian injuries and deaths, SUVs alone account for 95, sedans for 84. Trucks, buses, and bikes trail far behind. The pattern is clear. The threat is heavy and fast.
Last year, a 55-year-old e-bike rider, Zhao Feng Zhen, was struck and killed by a Nissan Rogue on Hollis Court Boulevard. The driver stayed. Police are still investigating. The story ends with a line that echoes in every family left behind: “police are still investigating the crash.”
Leadership: Promises and the Waiting
Local leaders have the tools. They can enforce speed limits, ticket reckless drivers, and target crash hotspots. But the silence is thick. No new laws, no bold enforcement blitzes, no public reckoning. The dead pile up. The living wait.
A mother’s words after her daughter was killed by an unlicensed teen driver cut through the noise: “I wish they would never have given him that car. I wish they would never think about giving him that car—because if they didn’t give him that car, my daughter would still be here right now.”
What Now: No More Waiting
Precinct 111 can act. Residents can act. Demand speed enforcement. Demand tickets for failure to yield. Demand action at every hotspot. Call your council member, your precinct, your mayor. Every day of delay is another day someone does not come home.
