Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in AD 29?
Ten Dead. Thousands Hurt. The Blood Is on Albany’s Hands.
AD 29: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
The Blood Price of the Road
In Assembly District 29, the numbers do not lie. Ten dead. Twenty-two seriously injured. Over 2,500 hurt since 2022. Each number is a name, a family, a life cut short or changed forever. The streets of Jamaica, South Jamaica, St. Albans, Hollis, Laurelton, and Rosedale have become a gauntlet for the old and the young alike.
Just weeks ago, two people on a moped collided with a BMW in Jamaica. The NYPD said, “two people were riding the moped when it collided with a BMW.” No word on charges. No word on why. Only the aftermath: two more bodies on the list.
In April, a 62-year-old man tried to cross Linden Boulevard. He was struck by a hit-and-run driver, then run over by another car. Police said, “Police are still searching for the first driver who fled the scene.” The man died the next day. The road kept moving.
Who Pays, Who Acts
Most deaths come from cars and SUVs. Of the pedestrians struck, three died under the wheels of sedans and SUVs. Trucks and buses killed one more. Motorcycles, mopeds, and bikes left others broken. The old and the young are not spared.
Assembly Member Alicia Hyndman has voted to expand school speed cameras and backed safer street designs. She voted yes to extend school speed zones, aiming to protect children. She also supported boosting funding for safer street designs. But she has voted to weaken bus rules, a move that puts people on foot and bike at risk. She voted no on expanding speed camera hours, a tool proven to save lives.
The Next Step Is Yours
This is not fate. It is policy. Every delay, every loophole, every watered-down bill means another name on the list. Call Assembly Member Hyndman. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement against reckless drivers. Demand streets that put people first.
Do not wait for another name. Act now.
