Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB3?
Red Lights, Broken Lives: Queens Streets Are Killing Our Kids
Queens CB3: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
Children in the Crosswalk, Sirens in the Night
A four-year-old and her sister, eight, stepped into the crosswalk on 37th Avenue. An SUV driver went around a car, ran the red, and hit them. The driver fled. The girls went to Elmhurst Hospital. They survived. The driver is still out there. Police said the girls had minor injuries. The street remembers more than that.
In the last twelve months, 710 people were hurt and 8 suffered serious injuries in Queens CB3. Two people died.
The Numbers Do Not Lie
Since 2022, there have been 13 deaths and 2,140 injuries on these streets. Children, elders, workers. A man, 23, killed on his way to work. A child, 8, crushed crossing with the light. A woman, 60, bled out at the curb. The numbers do not care about age or dreams. They only climb.
Leadership: Words and Waiting
City leaders talk about Vision Zero. They talk about speed cameras and lower limits. But the carnage continues. After a firefighter killed a young man while driving drunk and high at 83 mph, Queens DA Melinda Katz said, “Drunk, drugged and reckless driving are dire threats to everyone on our shared roadways.” The victim’s brother said, “Pena will walk the streets for a $50,000 bail… Justin will never walk the streets again.”
Speed cameras work, but the law that keeps them running is always at risk. The city can lower speed limits now, but waits. Every day of delay is another roll of the dice.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand permanent speed cameras. Demand streets where children can cross and live. Take action now.
