Flatbush Ave, midnight: a woman down
Precinct 70: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
A driver in a 2012 Toyota sedan hit a 43-year-old woman on Flatbush Avenue late at night on Sep 12. Police recorded failure to yield and improper passing. She bled from the head and was semiconscious. NYC Open Data
They are part of a long roll. Since 2022, Precinct 70 has seen 13 traffic deaths, including 9 people walking. NYC Open Data
This Week
- On Sep 6 at Bedford Avenue and Farragut Road, a driver making a left turn in an SUV hit a 23-year-old man who was not in the roadway; police logged severe lacerations. NYC Open Data
Where it keeps happening
Flatbush Avenue leads the pain, with 208 injuries and seven serious injuries recorded. Bedford Avenue follows, with 133 injuries. NYC Open Data
Crashes cluster in the afternoon and early evening. The hours around 2 PM and 6 PM show the heaviest death counts in this precinct. NYC Open Data
Heavy vehicles add weight to the toll. Since 2022, truck and bus drivers have killed three people here. Drivers of cars and SUVs have killed six. NYC Open Data
The turns that take lives
Police records show fatal right turns and left turns in this precinct. On Mar 7, 2024, a dump‑truck driver turned right at Bedford Avenue and Tilden Avenue and killed a 58‑year‑old woman while she crossed with the signal; police recorded failure to yield. NYC Open Data
On Feb 21, 2022, a driver turning left at 18th Avenue and East 2nd Street killed a 65‑year‑old woman; police recorded failure to yield. NYC Open Data
These are known failure modes. The fixes are not exotic: daylight corners; give people walking a head start; harden the turns; slow the cars; route trucks away from dense pedestrian corners. This is work for DOT and the 70th Precinct: target Flatbush Avenue and Bedford Avenue with failure‑to‑yield enforcement and turning‑speed controls. NYC Open Data
Speed is the lever we control
The worst repeat speeders keep showing up. In this area since 2022, cameras recorded 17,170 school‑zone speeding tickets after vehicles crossed the 16‑ticket threshold — violations that a speed limiter law aims to prevent. In 2025 to date, there are 3,725 such preventable tickets at that threshold. CrashCount analysis of NYC camera data
Albany has a bill to stop them. The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would require drivers with either 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year to install speed limiters. Ask your own electeds to co‑sponsor it. /take_action/
New York City can also lower speeds on local streets. Sammy’s Law lets the city set safer limits. The case is simple: slower speeds save lives. /take_action/
Who must act now
This is Precinct 70. The council member is Farah Louis. The assembly member is Kalman Yeger. The state senator is Zellnor Myrie. The record here is 13 dead since 2022, nine on foot. The tools to stop it are on the table. NYC Open Data
Act. Join others. Call for the 20 MPH default and the Stop Super Speeders Act. Start with one call or email. /take_action/
