Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB1?
Speed Kills Here. City Lets It Happen.
Queens CB1: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 13, 2025
The Toll in Flesh and Blood
Three dead at a food truck. Last week, an 84-year-old driver sped through a stop sign at 19th Avenue and 42nd Street in Astoria. The car hit two men waiting for coffee. Both died. The driver died too. Witnesses said the car was “going at least 60+ miles an hour just right through the stop sign and within seconds I heard the crash and screams” (ABC7).
In the last twelve months, five people have died and over 1,000 have been injured on these streets. Six suffered injuries so severe they may never walk right again. The dead are not numbers. They are brothers, fathers, neighbors. “He was always happy. He would make you happy. He would make happy any person in the world,” said a victim’s brother (CBS New York).
The Pattern: Speed and Steel
Cars and trucks do most of the killing. In this district, SUVs and sedans alone have taken two lives and injured hundreds. Trucks and buses have killed one and hurt dozens more. Bikes and mopeds injure, but the carnage comes on four wheels. The numbers do not lie: 16 deaths, 3,014 injuries, 21 left with life-changing wounds since 2022 (NYC Open Data).
Leaders: Words, Votes, and Waiting
After the latest crash, local leaders spoke. Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani called for “the acceleration of the adoption of Sammy’s Law and has proposed a plan to limit car traffic outside our schools” (Streetsblog NYC). Council Member Tiffany Cabán demanded a 20 mph limit and more daylight at corners. Senator Kristen Gonzalez voted yes to curb repeat speeders with speed-limiting tech (Open States).
But the street stays the same. The speed stays the same. The bodies keep coming.
What Next: No More Waiting
This is not fate. This is policy. Every day the city delays a 20 mph limit, another family risks losing someone. Every day without real enforcement, the same drivers speed by. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand the city use its power to slow the streets and save lives.
Do not wait for another body on the pavement. Demand action now.
