Queens Streets, City Silence: How Many More Must Die?
Queens: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 7, 2025
Blood on the Boulevard
A man tries to cross Linden Boulevard. He never makes it home. A car hits him and keeps going. Another car runs him over. His family says, “Today is a sad day. We lost a brother, father, son, uncle, and cousin. He has been snuffed from us by a hit-and-run driver.”
A pedestrian is hit on Hempstead Ave. The driver stops for two minutes, then drags the man’s body for three blocks. Bystanders plead for the driver to stop. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz: “The defendant then allegedly drove over the victim, stopped for more than two minutes, and then proceeded to speed away from the scene while dragging the victim’s body, while the victim was still alive.” Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz
Two girls, ages four and eight, walk in a crosswalk. An SUV runs the red, hits them, and flees. Police say the driver “went around another vehicle and then blew a red light, striking the girls… as they were walking south in the crosswalk.” Police say
A 78-year-old man is killed crossing Jericho Turnpike. The driver stays. Five months pass before charges come. The charge: failure to yield. A desk ticket. Nothing more. Five months pass before charges come
The Numbers Do Not Lie
In the last 12 months, 52 people died on Queens streets. Over 11,000 were injured. 135 suffered serious injuries. Children are not spared: 4 killed, 998 injured. The old are not spared: 6 killed, 303 injured. The city counts the bodies. The city moves on.
SUVs and sedans do most of the killing. Trucks, motorcycles, mopeds, bikes—all play their part. The street does not care who you are. It only cares that you are in the way.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
The city says it is acting. Speed cameras now run 24/7. The law lets the city lower speed limits to 20 mph. But the limit still stands at 25. The cameras need Albany’s blessing to keep running. Each day of delay is another day of risk.
Some leaders speak. Most wait. The dead do not wait. The families do not wait. “He was just crossing the street to get home,” a relative says.
What You Can Do
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand cameras that never go dark. Demand streets where children and elders can cross and live.
Do not wait for another name on the list. Take action now.
