Precinct 121: Three crashes in two weeks, and the count keeps climbing
Precinct 121: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 5, 2025
Just after 3 PM on Aug 29, at Richmond Ave and Vedder Ave, a BMW sedan hit a parked car and injured a 33‑year‑old driver. NYC Open Data.
This Week
- A driver turning left at Ring Rd and Richmond Hill Rd struck a woman in the crosswalk on Aug 14; she had the signal. NYC Open Data.
- A left‑turning sedan hit a man on an e‑bike at Forest Ave and Union Ave on Aug 13. NYC Open Data.
Blood on the ledger
- Since Jan 1, 2022, this precinct has recorded 12 deaths and 2,323 injuries in 4,259 crashes. NYC Open Data.
- Pedestrians bear the brunt: 7 of the 12 deaths were people on foot. Bikes and mopeds are in the count too. NYC Open Data.
- Nights are cruel. At about 10 PM, this precinct logged 4 deaths — the single worst hour on the clock. NYC Open Data.
- Trucks and buses loom large: they are tied to 5 deaths here. NYC Open Data.
Corners that don’t forgive
- Forest Avenue keeps hurting people — 109 injuries tied to that corridor — and Victory Blvd is a steady producer of trauma. NYC Open Data.
- Jewett Avenue has seen death twice since 2022. NYC Open Data.
- Failure to yield and inattention show up again and again in the records — including both mid‑August crashes above, each during a left turn. NYC Open Data.
A child on Castleton
Earlier this month, a 13‑year‑old on a moped collided with an MTA bus on Castleton Ave in Port Richmond and was left in critical condition. The bus operator and three passengers were unhurt, reporters said. ABC7. amNY reported, citing the MTA, that “the moped went through a stop sign without stopping and hit the bus.” amNY.
What the precinct can do now
- Target left‑turn risk where people walk: Forest Ave at Union; Ring Rd at Richmond Hill Rd. Daylight the corners, add leading pedestrian intervals, and harden the turns.
- Treat heavy vehicles as a threat vector. Focus inspections and enforcement on truck routes and loading at Forest Ave and along Richmond Ave.
- Work the hours that kill. If 10 PM is the worst hour, be there.
Citywide fixes that backstop every block
- Slow the city down. The data are blunt: speed kills. New York has the authority to set safer limits and the case has already been made. See our evidence and how to push for a 20 MPH default here.
- Stop the worst repeat offenders. Vehicles racking up camera tickets are far more likely to maim and kill; the proposed Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would force speed‑limiting tech on the most dangerous drivers. Details and call scripts are here. As advocates have documented, “vehicles that rack up 16 speed‑ or red‑light‑camera tickets in 12 months are twice as likely to kill or seriously injure,” and 30+ tickets multiplies the risk fifty‑fold.
