Queens CB12: Nights of impact, days of grief
Queens CB12: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- A 52-year-old man crossed 155th Street at South Conduit Avenue near JFK around 2:30 a.m. A driver hit him and fled. He died at Jamaica Hospital. Police said, “the driver hit the 52-year-old man … and fled the scene.” Gothamist, NY Daily News, and ABC7 each confirmed the basics.
- On Christmas night, a 45-year-old woman walking at 158th Street and 111th Avenue was struck and killed. Data list driver inattention. NYC Open Data.
- In April on 166th Street at Linden Boulevard, two SUVs going east hit a 62-year-old man. The record shows failure to yield and distraction. He died. NYC Open Data.
At night, the numbers climb. From midnight to 5 a.m., death stalks these streets. Four killed at 3 a.m. Two at 5 a.m. More through the evening peaks. The ledger is cold. Small-geo stats.
The corners keep bleeding
- The Belt Parkway area leads: three deaths, 174 injuries. Open data hotspot.
- Farmers Boulevard: two deaths, 124 injuries. Open data hotspot.
- Hillside Avenue racks up injuries. Open data hotspot.
SUVs and cars do most of the harm to people on foot. Pedestrians hit by SUVs: 267 cases, with four dead and seven seriously hurt. Sedans: 424 cases, one dead, five seriously hurt. Trucks, taxis, buses trail far behind. Period stats.
A pattern of impact
- In the last 12 months, Queens CB12 logged 2,869 crashes, 1,911 injuries, and eight deaths. Year to date, crashes are up 34%, deaths up 500% over last year to date. These are people, not counts. Period stats.
- Contributing factors tied to the worst outcomes include “other” causes with nine deaths, and repeated failures like failure to yield, disregard of signals, distraction, and alcohol. Small-geo stats.
What people said
- “The operator of the vehicle fled the scene after hitting the man.” — ABC7
- “Police said the driver hit the 52-year-old man as he crossed … around 2:30 a.m.” — Gothamist
- “The driver sped off without stopping. No arrests have been made.” — NY Daily News
Three corners. One fix.
- South Conduit and 155th Street. Daylight the corners. Harden the turns. Mark and signal the crossings.
- Farmers Boulevard hot spots. Add leading pedestrian intervals, speed cushions, and concrete that forces slow turns.
- Hillside Avenue. Narrow lanes and protect crossings. Repeat where the bodies fall.
These are standard tools. They buy time for the body to live.
Officials know what works — do they?
Albany renewed 24/7 school-zone speed cameras through 2030. Local members voted yes. That is something. Votes.
The state Senate moved a bill to cage repeat speeders with intelligent speed assistance. Senator Leroy Comrie voted yes in committee. So did James Sanders. The bill would force drivers with heavy point totals or repeated camera tickets to install speed limiters. S 4045.
The city already has the power to lower speeds. Sammy’s Law cleared the way. A 20 mph default on local streets would save lives. We are still waiting. Take Action.
A citywide fix for a neighborhood’s grief
- Slow the city: 20 mph by default on local streets. Enforce it with design first, cameras second. Take Action.
- Stop the worst: pass speed limiters for repeat offenders. S 4045.
The list of names is not printed here. The map remembers.
