Precinct 112: speed, sirens, and bodies on the boulevard
Precinct 112: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Queens’s Precinct 112 covers Forest Hills and Rego Park. Since 2022, there have been 2,670 crashes, leaving 1,314 people hurt and 5 dead. Pedestrians took 262 injuries and 2 deaths; cyclists 95 injuries and 1 death. Cars and SUVs did most of the harm. Trucks and buses added more wounds. City data.
L.I.E. and Grand Central: where the toll is paid
The Long Island Expressway is the top killer here: 2 deaths and 134 injuries tied to that corridor. The Grand Central Parkway follows with 1 death and 183 injuries. Even Queens Boulevard still maims: 95 injuries. These are the places where speed rules and people bleed. Open Data.
A 22‑year‑old motorcyclist died on the L.I.E. after contact with a tractor trailer. NYPD recorded “Unsafe Speed.” CrashID 4632739. Another motorcyclist was killed at Woodhaven and 60th Drive this spring in a multi‑vehicle crash. CrashID 4803498.
On Queens Boulevard at 63rd Drive, a 23‑year‑old cyclist was struck and killed. The record lists “Traffic Control Disregarded” and “Driver Inattention/Distraction” for the drivers involved. CrashID 4799953.
Nights are long; the hurt runs late
Harm piles up after dark. From midnight to 4 a.m., the precinct logged three deaths and 155 injuries. Another spike comes around the morning rush and noon. The clock does not care; the body count grows. Hourly distribution.
SUVs and sedans hit most pedestrians here: 196 injured and 2 killed. Trucks and buses add serious wounds, with multiple severe cases. Vehicle rollup.
What’s driving the pain
The biggest bucket in the city’s ledger for this precinct is “other,” with 2 deaths and 438 injuries. Vulnerable road users took blame in a smaller slice, but they are the ones left broken: 44 injuries and 2 deaths noted under that category. Improper passing, distraction, and failure to yield keep showing up. Contributing factors.
On a Queens highway, a wrong‑way driver admitted he “wanted to hurt people.” Two motorists were badly hurt. A judge gave him eight years. “Joseph Lee terrorized other drivers,” the Queens DA said.
Near JFK, a driver hit a 52‑year‑old man crossing before sunrise and fled. “The driver sped off without stopping,” police said. He died at Jamaica Hospital. No arrest. NY Daily News | Gothamist | ABC7.
Forest Hills, Rego Park: what can change now
Start where the harm is thickest.
- L.I.E. access roads and the Grand Central service lanes: slow entries, narrow lanes, harden turns, and daylight corners to cut blind pulls. Target speeding and wrong‑way risks at ramps. Top locations.
- Queens Boulevard and 63rd Drive: enforce signals, add hardened centerlines and longer walk starts, protect the bike line at conflict points. CrashID 4799953.
- Night hours: focus enforcement and calming from midnight to 4 a.m. where injuries and deaths stack up. Hourly data.
Citywide steps that would save lives here
Lower speeds save bodies. Albany passed a law that lets NYC set safer limits. The city can make 20 mph the norm on local streets. The work is not done. Take Action.
A small share of drivers cause outsized harm. Mandating intelligent speed assistance for repeat offenders would keep the worst from hitting you at deadly speeds. Take Action.
The count does not stop
In the last 12 months alone, this precinct saw 956 crashes, 481 injuries, and 2 deaths. Year to date, crashes are up 41% over last year’s pace. The line keeps rising. Period stats.
One more note. A cyclist dead at 63rd Drive. A biker down on the L.I.E. A pedestrian on the parkway shoulder who never made it home. The road remembers. We should too.
Act: tell City Hall to slow every street and stop repeat speeders. It starts here. It saves lives. Here’s how.
