Precinct 68: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 1, 2025

Just after Oct 10 at Narrows Ave and 81 St, a driver turning left hit a 16‑year‑old walking outside the intersection. She was seriously hurt. NYC Open Data

This Week

  • Oct 10: A left‑turning driver and a passing driver in two cars set off a chain on Narrows Ave at 81 St; a 16‑year‑old pedestrian suffered serious injuries. NYC Open Data
  • Oct 9: A driver going straight in an SUV hit a 30‑year‑old man in the crosswalk at Fort Hamilton Parkway and 72 St; police recorded the pedestrian crossing against the signal. He was seriously hurt. NYC Open Data

The pattern is older than this week

Since Jan 1, 2022, this precinct logged 4,414 crashes, with 23 people killed and 2,526 injured, including 24 serious injuries. NYC Open Data

People on foot bear a heavy share: 10 pedestrians killed and 414 injured. People on bikes: 1 killed and 235 injured. NYC Open Data

Deaths do not come at random hours. Police recorded fatal crashes piling up at 7 AM (3 deaths), noon (2), 8 PM (2), and 9 PM (2). The clock tells a story families already know. (Precinct 68 analysis)

Corners that keep breaking people

Shore Road is at the top of the list, with 3 deaths and 22 injuries since 2022. On 4 Avenue, police counted 2 deaths and 61 injuries. These are not secrets. (Precinct 68 analysis)

Police list “failure to yield” in deadly crashes here. Turning movements show up again and again in the records. (Precinct 68 analysis; NYC Open Data)

The fixes are standard and local: daylight the corners so drivers can see. Give walkers a head start at signals. Harden the turns so drivers slow before they swing through the crosswalk. Target these blocks for enforcement against failure to yield.

The precinct can act. City Hall and Albany must, too.

Set the pace on these streets. Lower speeds save lives. City leaders have the tools and have said as much. “A driver’s speed can mean the difference between life and death in a traffic crash,” said NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, calling speed reductions a way to “help protect everyone who shares our busy streets.” (City policy record)

State law can choke off the worst repeat offenders. The Stop Super Speeders Act — S4045C/A2299C — would require drivers who rack up violations to install speed limiters that keep cars from racing past the limit. Our own action guide explains what it would do and how to push it. Learn more and act.

Your local officials for this area are Council Member Alexa Avilés, Assembly Member Alec Brook‑Krasny, and State Senator Steve Chan. The public record in this briefing does not show whether they sponsored the Stop Super Speeders bill. What gives? (Precinct 68 context)

What to do now

Start at the corners that already bleed — Shore Road and 4 Avenue — and slow them down. Then make it citywide: lower the default speed and rein in repeat speeders. One call matters. Take action here.
