Night at W 168 and University
Precinct 44: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 15, 2025
Just after 8 PM on Oct 7, at W 168 St and University Ave, a taxi driver going straight hit a 37-year-old man crossing at the intersection, police records show (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Oct 4: On Undercliff Ave at Boscobel Pl, police recorded unsafe speed by a sedan’s driver who injured a 50-year-old man at the intersection (NYC Open Data).
- Oct 3: At E 169 St and Grand Concourse, a driver making a right turn in an SUV hit a 15-year-old on a bike (NYC Open Data).
- Oct 3: At Grand Concourse and E 158 St, a taxi driver moving left injured a 65-year-old driver; police marked unsafe speed (NYC Open Data).
The Toll Does Not Let Up
Since Jan 1, 2022, Precinct 44 has recorded 5,073 crashes, with 12 people killed and 2,871 injured (NYC Open Data). In the past year, the precinct logged 1,173 crashes and 745 injuries; the prior year to date saw 913 crashes and 543 injuries (NYC Open Data).
Police records point to drivers’ failure to yield, inattention, and unsafe speed among cited causes here (NYC Open Data). Deadly crashes in this precinct have struck at 1 AM and 5 AM, among other hours, a pattern that leaves families waking to sirens in the dark (NYC Open Data).
Corners That Keep Breaking People
Two corridors stand out in the data: Major Deegan Expressway and Webster Avenue, each with two deaths on record in this period (NYC Open Data). Grand Concourse appears again and again in recent injuries.
These are places where a right turn, a missed look, or a fast approach ends with a body on the asphalt. The files list who was going straight, who turned, who failed to yield. The injuries read like a ledger: head, hip, neck.
Fix What We Can See
Start with the turns. Harden them. Give people on foot the head start of leading pedestrian intervals. Daylight the corners so drivers cannot edge into the crosswalk blind. Target the repeat crash spots for traffic calming and enforcement when the records show risk late at night and at dawn (NYC Open Data).
Stop the Speed That Kills
Lower speeds save lives. New York City now has tools to slow cars and rein in the worst repeat offenders. The city can move to a broader 20 MPH default on local streets, and Albany has a bill to require intelligent speed assistance for habitual speeders. The proposed Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would force drivers with repeated violations to use speed limiters (take action).
This precinct sits in Council District 8 under Diana I. Ayala, Assembly District 77 under Landon Dais, and State Senate District 29 under Jose Serrano. The record here is plain. Will they back these measures now? (NYC Open Data)
One Thing You Can Do
Tell City Hall and Albany to slow the streets and stop repeat speeders. Start today: ask for these changes.
