Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 114?

Astoria’s Streets Bleed—Who Will Stop the Killing?

Astoria’s Streets Bleed—Who Will Stop the Killing?

Precinct 114: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 9, 2025

The Toll in Blood and Bone

In Precinct 114, the numbers do not lie. Sixteen dead. Nearly three thousand injured. Twenty-one left with wounds so deep they are called serious. These are not numbers. They are people. They lived in Astoria, in Ravenswood, in the shadow of the bridge. They crossed the street. They rode a bike. They waited for the light. Now they are gone, or changed forever.

Just last month, a 39-year-old moped rider was killed at 23rd Avenue and 37th Street. The crash report lists “Traffic Control Disregarded” and “Driver Inattention/Distraction.” The rider was ejected, helmet on, but it did not matter. He died at the scene. The street was quiet again by dawn. NYC Open Data

In January, a 53-year-old woman was killed crossing at Ditmars and 31st. The report says “Pedestrian Error/Confusion.” The bus kept going straight. She did not make it across. The form notes she was “crossing against signal.” Only one person died.

Police on the Scene, But Not Always in Time

The police have the tools. They can ticket speeders. They can crack down on drivers who fail to yield. They can target the corners where blood stains the curb. But too often, the work comes after the sirens. “Police are now trying to determine the cause of the crash,” said CBS New York, after an NYPD cruiser crashed at Beach 35th Street. Three were hurt. The cause is still a question.

“The officers were responding to a call for shots fired nearby when they crashed,” reported ABC7. Four officers went to the hospital. No civilians were hit. This time.

Leadership: Promises and Silence

The city has the power to lower speed limits. The precinct can enforce them. The council can demand safer streets. But the deaths keep coming. The injuries pile up. The silence from leadership is louder than the sirens. The work is not done.

What Comes Next

This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is a choice made by someone, somewhere, to accept risk. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand they use every tool to slow the cars, protect the crossings, and end the bloodshed.

Do not wait for another name on the list. Act now.
