Left turns, broken bodies: a month in Staten Island’s 121st Precinct
Precinct 121: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 2, 2025
Just after Oct 28, 2025, at Forest Hill Road and Executive Way, a driver in an SUV turned left and hit a person on a bike. Police logged an injury to the cyclist from the crash report.
Since 2022, at least 14 people have been killed and 2,984 injured on streets in the 121st Precinct, across 5,525 crashes in city data.
This Month
- Oct 25 at Decker Avenue and Catherine Street: police recorded failure to yield by a left‑turning driver of a pickup; a person walking in a marked crosswalk was hurt in the report.
- Oct 21 at Manor Road and Harold Street: a left‑turning sedan driver hit a 14‑year‑old crossing with the signal; police cited failure to yield and distraction in the report.
- Oct 20 near 2079 Forest Avenue: a right‑turning sedan driver hit a 12‑year‑old on a bike; police cited driver inattention in the report.
“According to the MTA, the moped went through a stop sign without stopping and hit the bus,” one report said after a teen was critically hurt at Castleton and Park in Port Richmond on Aug 5, 2025 amNY. Another outlet noted the boy was taken to the hospital in critical condition ABC7.
Corners where people break
Police list Richmond Avenue and Victory Boulevard among corridors with the most injuries here. Jewett Avenue shows two deaths on the log. Forest Avenue also runs hot NYC Open Data.
Deaths spike at night. The hour with the most recorded deaths is 10 PM NYC Open Data.
Left turns keep showing up. Police recorded failure to yield by drivers in recent intersection crashes at Decker and Catherine, and at Manor and Harold NYC Open Data.
Trucks are brutal when they hit someone on foot. Since 2022, truck drivers have been involved in crashes that killed three people walking in this precinct, more than any other vehicle type listed for pedestrian deaths in the dataset NYC Open Data.
What the precinct can do now
Target the hot corners. Harden left turns. Daylight the crosswalks at Richmond Avenue, Victory Boulevard, Jewett Avenue, and Forest Avenue. Focus enforcement at night when the body count rises. Crack down on failure to yield at signalized intersections. The crash logs point to where and when NYC Open Data.
What City Hall and Albany must do
Lower speeds save lives. The city already has the power to set lower limits on local streets. Use it. Pass the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) to force chronic offenders to install speed limiters, as outlined here. These are concrete steps, not slogans CrashCount: Take Action.
Council Member Frank Morano, Assembly Member Charles Fall, and State Senator Jessica Scarcella‑Spanton represent parts of this area. The record here does not show whether they have co‑sponsored the Stop Super Speeders Act. The crashes do show what delay costs NYC Open Data.
The rider on Forest Hill Road is hurt. The corners keep taking people. Tell your officials to act — and push the city to lower speeds and stop repeat speeders here.
