Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB10?
Thirteen Dead. Thousands Hurt. Queens Streets Still Bleed.
Queens CB10: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 10, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
The road does not forgive. In Queens CB10, the numbers are blunt. Thirteen people dead. Forty-one left with serious injuries. More than 2,700 hurt since 2022. Each number is a life changed or ended. Each crash is a story that does not end well.
Just days ago, a BMW tore across the Belt Parkway. The car hit the divider, flew into oncoming traffic, and caught fire. No one inside wore a seat belt. Two young lives ended. Others crawled from the wreckage, dazed and bleeding. A survivor described the crash: “They went airborne and into the barrier.” The horror did not stop at the crash. Families are left with the memory of bodies thrown from the car, and a fire that would not go out.
A few days before, a 76-year-old woman died in a Queens pizzeria. An e-bike battery exploded outside the bathroom. The fire moved fast. The FDNY called it a “blowtorch effect.” She could not escape. Her son found her burned, almost beyond recognition. “For me to find my mom burnt like a roast pig… is a memory I cannot forget.”
The Numbers Do Not Lie
Crashes are not random. In the last year, six people died here. Seventeen suffered serious injuries. The wounded are young and old—children, parents, elders. Cars and SUVs did most of the harm. Trucks, motorcycles, buses, and even bikes left their mark. The Belt Parkway, Lefferts Boulevard, and 149th Avenue are not safe for anyone outside a car.
What Leaders Have Done—and Failed to Do
Some bills have passed. Council Member Joann Ariola voted for step street lighting and truck route redesigns. She co-sponsored bills for raised speed reducers and pedestrian lighting. But she also voted against daylighting intersections and against legalizing jaywalking—measures proven to protect people on foot. She opposed congestion pricing, which would have meant fewer cars and safer streets. She even voted against expanding speed cameras, despite her own car racking up 27 school-zone speeding tickets.
The silence is deadly. Every delay, every vote against proven safety, means another family gets the call no one wants.
What You Can Do Now
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit on every street. Demand real enforcement against repeat speeders. Join groups like Families for Safe Streets and Transportation Alternatives. Do not wait for the next siren. The next body. The next headline.
The road will not change itself. You must.
