Night Kill on Meserole, and the Map Keeps Filling In

Precinct 90: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 2, 2025

Just after 2 AM at Meserole Street and Leonard Street, a 32‑year‑old woman riding a bike was hit and killed. Police records list a Tesla sedan among the vehicles at the scene. Source.

They wrote her name as “Bicyclist.” Age 32. Apparent death. The entry sits in the city’s ledger of crashes. Source.

This Week

  • At Lorimer Street and Montrose Avenue, a driver in an SUV turned left and injured a 24‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal. Police recorded the pedestrian at the intersection. Source.
  • Earlier that day, a 14‑year‑old on a bike was badly hurt in a collision with a truck by 990 Grand Street. Source.

The toll in Precinct 90

Since Jan 1, 2022, traffic crashes in Precinct 90 have killed 14 people and injured 2,988. Source.

Cyclists: 4 dead, 561 injured. People walking: 3 dead, 476 injured. Drivers and passengers: 5 dead, 1,726 injured. Source.

Corners that keep breaking people

Morgan Avenue leads the list with two deaths and 59 injuries. Union Avenue shows repeated harm, including two deaths at “Union Ave,” plus another death with 69 injuries at “Union Avenue.” Broadway also appears with one death and 166 injuries. Kent Avenue is there too. Source.

Police note common driver errors in these crashes: inattention/distraction, following too closely, disregarding traffic control, failure to yield, alcohol involvement, and improper passing. Source.

What Precinct 90 and DOT can target now

  • Protect crossings at Union Avenue, Broadway, and Morgan Avenue with daylighting, hardened turns, and leading pedestrian intervals.
  • Slow turns and through‑traffic where people bike and walk. Use raised crossings and tightened corners on repeat corridors.
  • Aim enforcement at failure‑to‑yield and distraction where the injuries stack up.

Citywide levers that would matter here

Lower speeds save lives. New York City now has the authority to set safer limits and is rolling out 20 MPH zones. Use it where people are being hurt. See how and where to push for a wider rollout here.

The worst repeat offenders do outsized harm. Albany has a bill—the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C)—to require speed limiters for drivers with heavy point loads or many camera tickets. Push your representatives to back it. Details and call scripts are here.

Local offices for this precinct: Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez, Assembly Member Emily Gallagher, and State Senator Julia Salazar. This record does not show their sponsorship status on the speed‑limiter bill. Ask them to put it on the record. Context.

The work in front of us

One woman died on Meserole. The books already held too many names. The next one is preventable if we slow cars, harden the dangerous corners, and stop the repeat offenders. Start with one call. Take action.
