Queens CB2’s broken hour: deaths on Queens Boulevard, trucks in the crosswalk
Queens CB2: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Queens Community Board 2 sits under highways and big arterials. The toll shows up in the data. Since 2022, there have been 5,081 crashes here, with 12 people killed and 2,940 injured. Pedestrians took 318 hits; SUVs and cars dominate those harms.
- Queens Boulevard: 3 dead, 163 hurt.
- Brooklyn-Queens Expressway: 2 dead, 400 hurt.
- Long Island Expressway: 1 dead, 351 hurt.
- Roosevelt Avenue: 1 dead, 49 hurt.
- Greenpoint Avenue: 1 dead, 34 hurt.
Night and dawn are cruel. The worst hours stack up at 4 a.m., 10–11 a.m., 3–5 p.m., and 10 p.m. Bodies keep turning up across the clock.
Bodies at the hot corners
A 38-year-old man died on Roosevelt Avenue at 70th Street before sunrise. The record shows “going straight ahead” and a “center front end” hit from an SUV. He never made it across. The data calls it “apparent death.” The driver kept going straight. NYC Open Data.
A 16-year-old girl was killed at 47th Avenue and 46th Street. A driver turned left. The file reads “view obstructed/limited.” She didn’t get another day. NYC Open Data.
On Greenpoint Avenue at 43rd Street, a box truck turned right. A 28-year-old on an e‑bike was recorded “ejected.” The outcome line says “killed.” NYC Open Data.
The BQE keeps maiming people inside cars too. One westbound chain crash listed three injured, one dead. Trucks and a taxi in the stack. A 75‑year‑old died in the back seat. NYC Open Data.
Queens Boulevard still takes
Queens Boulevard accounts for three deaths and 163 injuries in this district. It is one of the top hotspots here. The numbers are ours, not a headline. They have dates, times, and bodies attached. NYC Open Data.
Heavy vehicles add weight to the harm. Trucks and buses show up in 29 pedestrian injury cases; SUVs and cars in 289. People outside cars pay first. PeriodStats.
What the hours tell us
Crashes spike at 4 a.m. with six deaths across late‑night and dawn hours. The afternoon push—3 p.m., 4 p.m., 5 p.m.—adds more deaths and dozens hurt. Ten at night takes two more. The clock is an accomplice. Small-geo analysis.
Top listed factors across years include “disregarded traffic control,” “failure to yield,” and “inattention/distraction.” But the biggest bucket is “other.” It doesn’t matter what we call it. People don’t come home. Small-geo analysis.
Hit‑and‑run is routine, not rare
Citywide, a man crossing near JFK was left to die at 2:30 a.m. “The driver sped off without stopping. No arrests have been made,” police said. That was Queens too. A few miles from this district, same borough, same night air. NY Daily News, Gothamist, ABC7.
The bridge finally splits walkers and bikes
After years of delay, the city opened separate paths on the Queensboro Bridge. “After years of advocacy, many of us were excited to see [DOT] complete the work,” State Senator Michael Gianaris said. The delay? “Not satisfactory,” electeds wrote earlier, warning that waiting “will unnecessarily put at risk” thousands walking and biking the cramped path. Gothamist, Streetsblog NYC.
Slow them down or count the dead
The state renewed 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras through 2030. Local reps backed it. The next step targets the worst repeaters. In Albany, Senator Michael Gianaris voted yes to move a speed‑limiter bill. Assembly Members Steven Raga and Claire Valdez co‑sponsor the Assembly version. The proposal forces chronic violators to install devices that keep speed to the limit. Open States, Open States.
At City Hall, the Council is pushing owner‑liability cameras for illegal parking that blocks sightlines and space people need to live. The sponsor names are on the paper; Raga is on the state bill the resolution backs. NYC Council – Legistar.
What would help here, now
- Harden the turns at Roosevelt, Greenpoint, and Queens Boulevard. Force slow, square turns.
- Daylight every corner along the truck routes. Keep corners clear. People become visible.
- Target the night hours on the BQE and LIE. Repeat hotspots need constant presence.
The pattern is plain. Twelve dead. 2,940 injured. Queens Boulevard, Roosevelt Avenue, the BQE, the LIE. The clock keeps bad secrets. We don’t have to.
One push that cuts through: slow every street and stop the worst repeaters. Use Sammy’s Law and pass the speed‑limiter bills. Then hold them to it. Start here. Take action.
