Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB5?
Blood on Their Hands: Slow Queens Streets or Count More Dead
Queens CB5: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 18, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
Five dead. Twelve left with life-changing wounds. In the last year alone, Queens CB5 has seen 1,267 crashes. Seven hundred forty-four people were hurt. The numbers do not bleed, but the streets do.
Just this spring, a cyclist was killed on Juniper Boulevard North. A box truck turned right. The man on the bike was thrown and crushed. He died there, helmet or not. The truck kept rolling. The street stayed open. Data from NYC Open Data confirms the toll.
A few months before, a 47-year-old cyclist was killed on Maurice Avenue. An SUV and a truck. The man was ejected, died of crush injuries. No one else died. The road was cleared. The city moved on.
The System Fails the Vulnerable
Most of the dead are not behind the wheel. They walk, they ride, they cross. In three years, cars and SUVs caused 334 pedestrian injuries and deaths. Trucks and buses, 27. Motorcycles and mopeds, 12. Bikes, 9. The numbers are cold, but the pain is not.
A bus crash in Flushing left eight hurt. The driver, just 25, told investigators he “misjudged the curb.” Video showed he had fallen asleep. The MTA pulled him from service. “I was all the way in the back and all of a sudden the bus hit the curb, I guess, jumped the curb, I went this way and that way and banged into the side of the bus,” said a passenger.
Leadership: Progress and Delay
Local leaders have taken steps, but the pace is slow. Senator Gianaris and Assembly Member Hevesi both voted to extend school speed zones and co-sponsored bills to force repeat speeders to slow down. But the default speed limit remains above 20 mph. The most dangerous drivers still roam free. Each delay is a risk paid in blood.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is a choice made by those in power. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph default. Demand action on repeat speeders. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
Act now. The next victim is only a day away.
