Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB13?
Queens Streets: 25 Dead, 4,400 Hurt—Who's Next?
Queens CB13: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 18, 2025
The Toll in Queens CB13
The streets do not forgive. In Queens CB13, the numbers do not lie. Twenty-five people are dead. Twenty-eight more are left with serious injuries. Over 4,400 have been hurt since 2022. The crashes keep coming. The pain does not fade.
Just last month, a 39-year-old man was killed on Nashville Boulevard. He was ejected from his motorized scooter after an SUV turned left. The crash report lists the cause as “driver inattention.” The man died from crush injuries. He did not get a second chance. See NYC Open Data.
On the Belt Parkway, a 27-year-old woman lost her life in February. She was driving. The car was going straight. The report says “unsafe speed.” She was ejected and died at the scene. Her passenger was injured. The road stayed open. The city moved on.
Buses, Cars, and the Human Cost
The machines are heavy. The people are not. SUVs and cars caused the most harm—four deaths, 397 injuries. Trucks and buses killed two, injured 27. Bikes left two with minor wounds. The numbers are cold, but the stories burn. A van crash in February killed a 78-year-old woman. She sat in the back seat. She never made it home.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
The politicians talk. Some act. Senator Leroy Comrie voted yes to curb repeat speeders, backing a bill to require speed-limiting devices for drivers who rack up violations. Assembly Member Clyde Vanel voted to extend school speed zones, a move to protect children on foot.
But the deaths keep coming. The crashes do not wait for new laws. The city has the power to lower speed limits. It has not done enough. The streets are still wide. The cars are still fast. The bodies are still broken.
Call to Action: Demand More Than Words
Call your council member. Call your senator. Call your assembly member. Tell them the numbers are not just numbers. They are lives. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real protection for people walking and cycling. Do not wait for another name on the list.
