Precinct 90: Death at the Corners
Precinct 90: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another corner. Same ending.
- On Union Avenue at Lynch Street, a 46‑year‑old cyclist died. The SUV’s front end was crushed. The city data calls it CrashID 4752328. He never got up.
- At Morgan and Maspeth, a truck going straight hit a 46‑year‑old man in the roadway. The record shows “crush injuries.” He died at the scene on August 6, 2025.
- At Union and Scholes, a 72‑year‑old man in the crosswalk was struck by a left‑turning driver. The impact was to the undercarriage. He died on March 24, 2025.
In three years in Precinct 90, there have been 4,622 crashes, 2,275 injured, and 10 dead. The city’s rollup shows SUVs and cars inflict most pedestrian harm, with trucks and buses close behind (NYC Open Data).
Quotes that should not be routine are now routine. “A driver struck and killed a 47‑year‑old pedestrian… then left the scene,” police said. “It was not immediately clear whether the man was walking in a crosswalk, or who had the right of way,” Gothamist reported.
Three corners. One pattern.
Morgan Avenue leads the list. Two killed. Thirty‑four hurt. Three with serious injuries (NYC Open Data). Union Avenue repeats. Two killed, including at Scholes. More on the corridor. Broadway is pain without pause: 120 injured and three seriously hurt.
The clock tells its own story. Injury spikes at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. The dead show up at 7 a.m., 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 2 p.m., 5 a.m., 3 a.m., 1 a.m., 9 p.m., and 11 p.m. There is no safe hour here (NYC Open Data).
Among causes, the city labels most as “other.” Still, distraction shows. So does tailgating and failure to yield. They are small words for blood and bone (NYC Open Data).
Heavy steel. Soft bodies.
Pedestrians: 3 dead, 368 injured. Cyclists: 2 dead, 443 injured. Riders of other motorized devices: 2 dead, 159 injured. Vehicle occupants: 3 dead, 1,305 injured. Trucks and buses are a smaller share of crashes but hit hard, with 38 pedestrian strikes in this precinct’s tally; SUVs and cars account for 290 (NYC Open Data).
At 517 Lorimer, a box truck rolled straight and a driver died after losing consciousness. The state calls it CrashID 4789851. On Grand and Union, a 60‑year‑old on another motorized device was “partially ejected” and died. It is CrashID 4832706.
Fix the corners. Stop the turns.
- Daylight the mouths of Union Avenue and Morgan Avenue. Cut the blind spots. Harden the left turns at Union and Scholes. Make slow the only speed.
- Protect the bike lanes where the bodies stack up: Union, Flushing, Kent. Keep trucks out of the door zone. Mark and enforce truck routes off Morgan’s worst blocks.
- Target the peak hours with turn enforcement and signal timing that gives people a head start in the crosswalk. Use it at Broadway’s crossings and along Union.
Officials know what works — do they?
Albany renewed the city’s 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras. That program runs through 2030 (Take Action). But cameras don’t lower the limit. Sammy’s Law gives NYC the power to set safer speeds. Our city can drop residential streets to 20 mph. The city has not done it. The ask is simple: a default 20 mph limit, citywide (Take Action).
A small number of drivers do outsized harm. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force repeat speeders to install devices that cap speeding. The bill is on the table in Albany. The lives at Union and Morgan are on the line (Take Action).
Lower the speeds. Harden the turns. Keep trucks in line. The rest is grief.
