Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 75?
Eight Dead in 75 — This Is Policy
Precinct 75: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 15, 2025
This week On Sunday, Aug. 10, a man fell onto the L train tracks at Sutter Ave. in East New York. He was struck by a train and died. “Around 6 p.m., a man fell onto the southbound tracks at the L train station at Sutter Ave. in East New York and was struck by a train,” police said. “EMS pronounced the victim dead at the scene,” an FDNY spokesman said.
Early Tuesday, Aug. 5, police described a crash on Pitkin Avenue in Brooklyn. “Police said both vehicles were heading westbound on Pitkin Avenue, and they were still investigating exactly how the crash unfolded.” “Criminal charges for him were still pending Monday morning.”
A bad month in 75 On July 27, a collision between a moped and a sedan at Jamaica Ave and Richmond St left one person dead, per open data. Two weeks earlier, July 13 near Gateway Dr, a 21-year-old pedestrian was killed; contributing factors included driver inattention and unsafe speed, according to the same dataset. On July 3 at Broadway and E. New York Ave, a 36-year-old pedestrian was struck and killed at the intersection, per open data.
The pattern In the last 12 months in Precinct 75: 8 people killed, 1,780 injured, 23 seriously hurt (open data). This year to date: 6 deaths vs. 1 by this point last year — a 500% jump (same source). Since 2022, 15 dead, 55 serious injuries, 5,335 injured in crashes here (open data).
Who acts, and where Pitkin. Pennsylvania. Jamaica. The Belt Parkway exits. These are names that repeat in the casualty log we track.
Precinct 75 has tools. Enforce speed limits. Write failure-to-yield summonses. Run operations at known hotspots after dark and at rush. Use crash reports to set posts. The law already allows it.
Elected officials can back redesigns and funding. They can press agencies to fix deadly corridors. They can reward enforcement that protects people on foot and on bikes. They can say, on the record, that delays cost lives.
Eight dead in a year is not a mystery. It is policy, lane by lane.
Bold action now. Flood the lines. Demand nightly speed enforcement on Pitkin and Pennsylvania. Demand fixes at Jamaica and Richmond. Demand answers when another person dies and the only witness is chalk on the asphalt.
