Precinct 66: The hours when bodies fall
Precinct 66: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- A 70-year-old man was killed at Avenue I and E. 5th Street. The NYPD coded it as driver distraction. A sedan. An intersection. One death. NYC Open Data crash record shows the details for CrashID 4825939.
- A 16-year-old on an e‑bike died at Ditmas and Coney Island Avenue. A box truck turned right. He did not get up. See CrashID 4749410.
- A 54‑year‑old van driver died at Bay Parkway and McDonald Avenue after an unsafe lane change. CrashID 4774039 lists the maneuver and the fatal outcome.
In three years, this precinct logged 22 deaths and 2,377 injuries. Pedestrians took 11 of those deaths. Cyclists, 3. The city’s dataset tallies the harm. Open Data rollups make it plain.
“Speed kills” is not a slogan. It’s math.
- From 2022 to now, crashes stack up at midday and late afternoon. Deaths spike at 1 p.m., 3 p.m., and again from 6–9 p.m. The clock tells on us. Hourly distribution shows the peaks.
Three corners. One fix.
- Fort Hamilton Parkway leads the list: four deaths, 42 injuries. Link it. Fix it. Top intersection data flags FORT HAMILTON PARKWAY.
- Caton Avenue is next: three deaths, 37 injuries. Same story. Same cure. Open Data lists CATON AVENUE.
- Ocean Parkway adds one death and 53 injuries. The toll keeps coming. Open Data shows OCEAN PKWY.
Heavy metal hits soft bodies.
SUVs are the main strike vehicle for people on foot here: 279 pedestrian casualties, with seven deaths. Sedans follow with 216, two deaths. Trucks caused 27, two deaths. The city counts every bruise and funeral. Mode rollups say it.
The leading “cause” bucket in the records is “other.” It holds 13 deaths and 1,236 injuries. Signals blown account for three deaths. Alcohol shows up in one death. The labels are thin. The bodies are not. Contributing factors list the counts.
A boy, an e‑bike, a truck turn.
- At Coney Island Avenue and Ditmas, both the truck and the teen were turning right, per the file. The teen died of crush injuries. CrashID 4749410 documents it.
The clock won’t stop.
- This year to date in the precinct: 741 crashes, 5 deaths, 502 injuries, up from last year’s 692 crashes and 4 deaths through the same point. That is more sirens, more families at the curb. Period stats track the rise.
Officials know what works — do they?
- The city has the power to lower speeds. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. The call is simple: default 20 mph on local streets. Our own coverage lays out the steps to push City Hall. See Take Action.
- A few drivers do most of the harm. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force chronic violators to use speed limiters. The case is made in our Take Action brief with linked research.
Make the turns safe.
- Daylight every corner on Fort Hamilton and Caton. Harden right turns where trucks sweep wide. Give walkers a head start with LPIs at the worst crossings. Use 24/7 camera enforcement where injuries pool. These are standard tools. This precinct needs them at its repeat sites, including Fort Hamilton Parkway and Caton Avenue.
The last word should be the city’s. Instead, it’s the coroner’s.
- “A driver struck and killed a 47-year-old pedestrian… then left the scene,” police said in a separate Brooklyn case this month. The habit of fleeing is part of the same disease. NY Daily News.
- “Criminal charges for him were still pending,” reporters wrote in another fatal crash roundup. Lives stopped. Paperwork pending. Gothamist.
One action now: tell City Hall to slow the city. Ask for 20 mph and speed limiters for repeat offenders. Start here: Take Action.
