Eastern Parkway takes four lives. An unlicensed left turn ends a century.
Precinct 71: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Eastern Parkway takes four lives. An unlicensed left turn ends a century.
- Since 2022 in Precinct 71, at least 6 people are dead and 1,842 injured in 3,200 crashes. Pedestrians bear four of those deaths. Bicyclists are hurt 191 times. City data.
Eastern Parkway: a corridor of grief
Three deaths cluster along Eastern Parkway. It leads the precinct’s injury count with 186 people hurt. A 56‑year‑old man died there in 2022; the driver was unlicensed and moving with “unsafe speed,” records say. Crash 4575837.
On April 7, 2022, an SUV going straight on Eastern Parkway struck a 53‑year‑old man at an intersection. Police coded “driver inattention.” He died. Crash 4517159.
On June 28, 2025, a boy, 8, was killed at Eastern Parkway and Albany Ave. The SUV driver reported a “view obstructed.” He died at the intersection. Crash 4823788.
A century ended in a left turn
On April 8, 2025, at Montgomery St and Brooklyn Ave, a 101‑year‑old woman crossed with the signal. A GMC SUV made a left. Police coded “failure to yield” and “driver inattention.” The driver was unlicensed. She died. Crash 4804451.
The record notes her age. It notes the light. It notes the turn. It notes the license that wasn’t. Nothing more. Crash 4804451.
Nights are not safe here
Injuries swell from late afternoon into night. 5 p.m. logs 135 injuries; 6 p.m. 119; 8 p.m. 100; 9 p.m. 93; 10 p.m. 57. Two deaths hit at 6–8 p.m. Two more at 8 p.m.–9 p.m. Precinct hours.
This is when families cross for dinner. When workers go home. The street does not forgive.
What the numbers say about blame
Drivers in this precinct injure pedestrians most often with sedans and SUVs. SUVs account for 3 pedestrian deaths and 100 pedestrian injuries; sedans for 156 injuries. Heavy vehicles—trucks and buses—add fewer incidents but higher trauma: 16 pedestrian injuries with five serious. Vehicle roles.
The coded causes are plain: unsafe speed and driver inattention, plus failure to yield. Together they sit behind the bodies named above. Contributing factors.
Fix the corners that keep killing
Start where the harm is worst. Daylight and harden turns on Eastern Parkway and Nostrand Avenue. Add leading pedestrian intervals at Montgomery/Brooklyn and Eastern/Albany. Slow the left turns that erase people in the crosswalk.
Target evening hours. Enforce yielding at signalized crosswalks. Keep trucks out of peak crossing windows on local streets. The map is telling you where.
Citywide tools that cut the risk
Lower speed, save life. A child struck at 20 has a better chance than at 30. The city now has the power to act. Use it. Call for a default 20 mph on residential streets and speed limiters for repeat violators. Details are here: Take Action.
“Speed kills.” The numbers follow. “Every day you wait risks another family losing someone they love.” Take Action.
