Deadly Streets, Silent Leaders: Demand Action Now
Queens CB10: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
The Toll on Our Streets
In Queens CB10, the numbers do not lie. Fourteen people killed. Forty-two left with serious injuries. Nearly 3,000 hurt since 2022. The dead do not speak. The wounded carry scars the rest of us cannot see.
Just days ago, the Belt Parkway saw another crash. A BMW lost control, hit the median, went airborne, and caught fire. Two people died. Three more were hurt. The NYPD said, “She later succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead” (amny). The investigation is ongoing. The road stays open. The traffic moves on.
On 149th Avenue, a 25-year-old on a motorcycle was killed. The record says only this: “Ejected. Apparent death.” (NYC Open Data).
Buses, Curbs, and the Edge of Disaster
Last week, an MTA bus in Flushing jumped the curb. Eight people were hurt. The driver told investigators he “misjudged the curb at the bus stop” (ABC7). After reviewing video, officials now believe he “had fallen asleep at the wheel.” The MTA pulled him from service. The sidewalk is not safe. The bus stop is not safe. The city keeps moving.
Who Acts, Who Waits
Local leaders have the power to slow the carnage. State Senator James Sanders voted yes to require speed-limiting devices for repeat dangerous drivers—an effort to “create safer streets for all New Yorkers” (Open States). But not all stand with the vulnerable. Assembly Member Stacey Pheffer Amato voted no on extending school speed zones, opposing a measure that would have protected children (Streetsblog NYC).
Most deaths here come from cars and SUVs. Sedans, SUVs, and trucks have killed and maimed the most. Buses and motorcycles add to the toll. The sidewalk is no refuge. The crosswalk is no shield.
Call to Action: Demand More
This is not fate. It is policy. Call your council member. Call your assembly member. Tell them: Slow the cars. Protect the people. Every day they wait, another life is at risk.
