Crescent and Hill: a boy hit, and a ledger that won’t close
SD 19: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 22, 2025
Just before 10 AM on Oct 2, a driver hit a boy at Crescent and Hill. No sirens in the data. Just a line that says he was hit.
The count doesn’t stop
Since 2022, Senate District 19 has logged 17,527 crashes, with 37 people killed and 11,655 injured (NYC Open Data). This year alone: 3,599 crashes, 2,786 injured, 8 killed, and 37 serious injuries, compared with 3,946 crashes, 2,669 injured, and 8 killed at this point last year (NYC Open Data). The line goes on.
Corners with names, lives with dates
On May 14, 2025, at Rutland and E 95, a driver turning left hit and killed a 68‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal; police recorded driver inattention and a left turn (NYC Open Data). On Jan 24, 2025, at Pennsylvania and Blake, a left‑turning driver killed a 57‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal; police recorded failure to yield by the driver (NYC Open Data). On July 13, 2025, near Gateway Drive, a driver going at unsafe speed killed a 21‑year‑old woman not at an intersection; police recorded speed and distraction (NYC Open Data).
The speed we allow is the harm we count
Albany renewed 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras through 2030. City and state leaders also moved to expand red‑light cameras and slow streets in targeted zones, with the city noting traffic deaths fell in early 2025 as these steps took hold (Take Action). The next step is on the table: the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) would force repeat speeders to install devices that keep them from breaking the limit (Open States).
Who’s responsible for this district
State Senator Roxanne Persaud voted yes on S4045 in committee on May 20 and June 12, 2025 (Open States). The Council Member is Mercedes Narcisse. The Assembly Member is Nikki Lucas. The crashes above happened here.
What must happen now
- Lower speeds on our streets wherever the law allows.
- Stop repeat speeders with mandatory limiters.
One boy at Crescent and Hill. One district’s toll. If you want this to end, tell your leaders to act today: Take Action.
