Twelve Dead, Hundreds Hurt—Who Pays for the Blood on Anderson’s Streets?
AD 31: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 6, 2025
The streets of Assembly District 31 do not forgive. In the last twelve months, 12 people died and 1,334 were injured in 1,847 crashes. Seventeen of those injuries were serious—lives changed in a blink, families left to pick up the pieces. Just last month, a cyclist was left in critical condition after a hit-and-run in South Ozone Park. Police said, “They are now looking for evidence to help them track down the driver.” No one has been arrested. The street keeps its secrets.
On June 10, a wrong-way driver killed a 25-year-old moped rider, then sped off into the night. “The driver, who was going against traffic in the eastbound lane, then struck an unoccupied parked van before speeding off.” The dead do not get second chances. The living wait for justice that rarely comes.
The Numbers Behind the Names
Cars and SUVs are the main killers. In the last three years, they caused 6 deaths and 349 injuries to pedestrians. Trucks and buses added more pain: 34 injuries. Motorcycles and mopeds, 6 injuries. Bikes, 4. The numbers do not lie. They only count.
Children are not spared. In the last year, 116 people under 18 were hurt. Two did not make it home.
Leadership: Action and Inaction
Assembly Member Khaleel Anderson has voted to extend school speed zones, a move that aims to keep protections in place for children and other vulnerable road users near schools. He co-sponsored bills to boost street safety for all users. But he also voted to weaken bus rules, a change that increases pedestrian and cyclist risk.
The work is not done. The dead cannot speak. The injured cannot walk the halls of Albany. Only the living can demand more.
Call to Action: Demand More Than Thoughts and Prayers
Call Assembly Member Anderson. Call your council member. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand real protection for every street, every child, every cyclist.
Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. The street does not care. Only people do.
