Northern Boulevard at 107th: one red light, one life, and a district on edge
AD 35: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
A red light. A body shop’s camera. A BMW torn open.
Prosecutors say ex-firefighter Michael Pena drove 83 mph, drunk and drugged, and hit 23‑year‑old Justin Diaz at Northern Boulevard and 107th Street. Diaz died. “Our shared roadways are not a racetrack,” said Queens DA Melinda Katz. ABC7. CBS New York.
Diaz had the right of way, the complaint says. The Mercedes ran the steady red. The impact sent Diaz’s car into a parked SUV. NY Daily News. Pena faces manslaughter and DWI charges; his blood alcohol content tested .156. ABC7.
“Drunk, drugged and reckless driving are dire threats,” Katz said after the indictment. CBS New York. Diaz’s brother said, “Pena will walk the streets for a $50,000 bail… Justin will never walk the streets again.” NY Daily News.
Nights are the danger hours
The injury curve swells after dark. In this district, injuries spike from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., with deaths recorded at 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. A fatal crash landed at 3 a.m.; another at 4 a.m.; one more at 5 a.m. NYC Open Data.
Speed and distraction show up again and again. “Unsafe speed.” “Failure to yield.” “Driver inattention.” Across this slice of Queens since 2022: 7 deaths tied to specific factors, with 475 injuries under “other,” and dozens more listed under vulnerable road user errors and distraction. NYC Open Data.
The worst hotspots here are highways that cut the map: the Grand Central Parkway and the Long Island Expressway, with hundreds hurt and four deaths between them. NYC Open Data.
The child at 31st Ave and 100th St
An 8‑year‑old boy was killed crossing with the signal at 31st Avenue and 100th Street. The truck driver was making a left. The record lists “failure to yield” and “driver inattention.” NYC Open Data.
There is nothing more to add. The form says “crush injuries.” It is enough. NYC Open Data.
Motorcycles, trucks, and the parkways
A 26‑year‑old unlicensed rider died at Ditmars and 31st Avenue. “Unsafe speed.” Ejected. Helmet noted. NYC Open Data. A 16‑year‑old on a motorbike died at Astoria Boulevard and 101st Street after “traffic control disregarded” and “unsafe speed.” NYC Open Data.
On the Long Island Expressway this July, a 24‑year‑old motorcyclist was killed in a three‑vehicle crash with a tractor‑trailer and an SUV. NYC Open Data. Heavy vehicles are part of the toll at pedestrian level too: trucks figure in the child’s death at 31st Ave and 100th St. NYC Open Data.
What leaders did—and didn’t—do
Albany extended 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras through 2030. S 8344 passed in June. Local reps voted yes. Open States. Cameras help. But Diaz died at 4:15 a.m. on Northern Boulevard, far from a school bell. NY Daily News.
The worst harm comes from a small group of drivers. City data show vehicles with piles of camera tickets are far more likely to kill. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force repeat violators to use speed limiters. Call your legislators. The bills exist. The targets are clear. Take Action.
Make these corners survivable
Northern Boulevard and 107th Street: protect the crossing with hardened lefts, longer walk leads, and daylighting. Grand Central Parkway and LIE ramps: calm merges, tighten turns, and keep trucks on set routes. Nights are bloody here; target late‑night speed enforcement where injuries surge. NYC Open Data.
Lower speeds save lives. Set 20 mph on residential streets. Use speed limiters on the worst repeat offenders. Start here. Then keep going. Take Action.
