Evening at Rutland and Rockaway
Precinct 67: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 16, 2025
A taxi driver turned left at Rutland Road and Rockaway Parkway on Oct 8 and hit a 32‑year‑old man who was walking. Police recorded the crash as an injury case here under CrashID 4848445.
This Week
- On Oct 8, a taxi driver turning left at Rutland and Rockaway hit a 32‑year‑old man in the city’s crash log.
- On Oct 6, an SUV driver turning left at East New York Avenue and East 98th Street injured a 56‑year‑old man who was crossing with the signal, according to police records for CrashID 4848069 here.
The toll on foot
Since 2022, people walking in Precinct 67 have faced a steady body count: 8 killed and 808 injured in crashes, across 774 pedestrian crashes captured in the city’s data here. Across all modes in the precinct, crashes since 2022 total 7,287, with 13 deaths and 4,903 injuries here.
The danger concentrates at known corners. Church Avenue leads the list with the most crash injuries logged for one corridor. Linden Boulevard is another deadly stretch, tied to one recorded death and dozens of injuries in this period city data.
Police reports in this precinct regularly cite driver actions. “Failure to yield” appears in dozens of injury crashes, and “driver inattention/distraction” in even more, in the same dataset here.
Evenings bite hard. The 7 PM hour alone shows 3 deaths and 291 injuries recorded since 2022 in this precinct city data.
Corners that don’t forgive
- Church Avenue: the top hotspot in this precinct’s records for injuries, with multiple serious injuries and deaths tied to that corridor in the city logs here.
- Linden Boulevard: one recorded death and heavy injury counts in this period here.
Hard fixes exist. Daylighting every corner. Leading pedestrian intervals. Hardened turns at the left‑turn crash sites. Tight traffic‑calming on Church and Linden. Targeted failure‑to‑yield enforcement in the 7 PM hour. All can be directed to these blocks using the same crash maps the city maintains here.
The line from one corner to City Hall
The pattern is not an act of God. It is a set of choices. Citywide changes are on the table:
- Lower the default speed limit. New York City now has the authority to drop speeds on more streets, and slower speeds cut deaths. Our city has already begun lowering limits in places; it needs to finish the job. Details and contacts are here.
- Stop repeat speeders. The proposed Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would force the worst offenders to install intelligent speed assistance, capping how far they can push past the limit. Advocacy groups show why this matters: a tiny pool of drivers causes outsized harm — “1.5% of motorists cause 21% of pedestrian deaths” — and risk soars with each new camera ticket Streetsblog.
Your local officials here are Council Member Darlene Mealy (District 41), Assembly Member Kalman Yeger (AD 41), and State Senator Roxanne Persaud (SD 19). The record provided does not show whether they back the speed‑limiter bill. The question is simple: will they? Contacts and next steps are here.
One man hit at Rutland and Rockaway. A pattern that runs through Church and Linden. Slow the cars. Make the turns safe. Do it now.
