The Toll in Blood and Bone

In Precinct 90, the street does not forgive. Since 2022, seven people have died and 2,106 have been injured in crashes here. Thirty-three were left with serious injuries—lives changed in a heartbeat. The dead include a 10-year-old girl, a 46-year-old cyclist, and a 56-year-old man on a bike. Some were crossing with the light. Some were riding home. All are gone.

The numbers do not flinch. In the past year alone, 590 people were hurt and 12 suffered serious injuries. One was a child. One was a cyclist. The street does not care who you are.

The Latest Crashes: No End in Sight

Just last fall, a cyclist was killed at Union Avenue and Lynch Street. He was thrown from his bike, bleeding from the head. The police report lists only this: “Severe Bleeding. Unconscious. Killed.” police report.

On Franklin Avenue, a 10-year-old girl was crushed by an SUV while crossing with the signal. The driver failed to yield. The police wrote: “Crush Injuries. Apparent Death.” police report.

Leadership: Words, Laws, and Silence

The city has new tools. Sammy’s Law lets New York lower speed limits. The council can set a 20 mph default. The police can crack down on speeding, reckless driving, and failure to yield. They can target the corners where blood pools most often. But the work is slow. The deaths keep coming.

A mother’s voice breaks through the noise: “It’s devastating. It’s affecting everyone in our family, especially (Ruiz’s) mom. Maddy was her only daughter.” said her daughter.

A driver, after killing his girlfriend while doing donuts in a parking lot, told police: “He lost control when he was doing donuts with the vehicle.” told police.

What Comes Next: No More Waiting

Precinct 90 can act. The police can enforce the law. Local leaders can lower the speed limit. Residents can demand action. Every day of delay is another day someone does not come home.

Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand safer streets. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
