Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB6?
Queens Streets Run Red—Your Silence Is Their License
Queens CB6: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Bodies Pile Up
In Queens CB6, the numbers do not tell the whole story. But they do not lie. Five people killed. Nine left with serious injuries. Over a thousand hurt. The dead do not get a second chance. The injured carry scars you cannot see.
A man on a motorcycle burns on Woodhaven Boulevard. The BMW that hit him keeps rolling. Flames eat the bike. Only the driver walks away. “Both vehicles caught on fire, with only the car driver surviving the collision,” police said. The rider’s name was William McField. He was 55. His son said he was “very beloved in the community and true to his friends and family” according to ABC7.
A cyclist, 23, is struck by two cars at Queens Boulevard and 63rd Drive. He dies six days later. No charges. No answers. The street stays the same.
The Machines That Kill
SUVs and sedans are the main weapons. They killed two. They injured 48 more. Trucks and buses left two with serious injuries. Bikes hurt two. The numbers are cold. The steel is colder.
What Leaders Have Done — and Not Done
The city talks about Vision Zero. They build some bike lanes. They lower speed limits in some places. But the blood keeps flowing. Local leaders have not done enough. No new laws. No bold votes. No public reckoning. The silence is loud.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. It is policy. Every delay is a choice. Every death is a failure. The families wait for action. The streets wait for change. The city has the power to lower speed limits. They have the power to build real protection. They have the power to enforce the law. They have the power to save lives. They must use it.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real protection for people outside the car. Demand action before another family gets the call.
