Precinct 121: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 5, 2025

The Blood on the Asphalt

In Precinct 121, the bodies keep coming. In the last year, four people died. Twelve more were left with injuries so grave they may never walk the same. In all, 854 people were hurt in 1,452 crashes—just in the past twelve months. NYC Open Data

The young are not spared. On August 5, a 13-year-old boy on a moped collided with an MTA bus in Port Richmond. He was rushed to the hospital with a head injury, fighting for his life. The crash happened at 1 a.m. on Castleton Avenue. The bus driver and passengers walked away. The boy did not. The collision critically injured the 13-year-old.

Just weeks before, a 16-year-old on an e-scooter died after colliding with an SUV on College Avenue. His name was Nacere Ellis. He suffered head trauma. The driver stayed at the scene. No arrests. Ellis suffered head trauma as a result of the crash.

The Machines That Kill

Cars and SUVs do most of the damage. They killed two people and hurt nearly 300 more. Trucks and buses killed five. Motorcycles and mopeds, four injuries. Bikes, four more. No one is safe—not the old, not the young, not the ones just trying to cross the street. NYC Open Data

Leadership: Promises and Silence

The police have the tools. They can ticket speeders. They can crack down on reckless turns. They can watch the corners where blood pools most often. But action is rare. The numbers do not lie. Crashes are up 24%. Injuries up 41%. Serious injuries up 350%. Deaths up by a third. NYC Open Data

Local leaders talk about Vision Zero. But the dead keep coming. The city has the power to lower speed limits. The precinct can enforce the law. Every day of delay is another day for a family to get the call.

What You Can Do

Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand action. Tell them the numbers. Tell them the names. Tell them you are tired of waiting for the next siren.

If you do nothing, nothing will change.
