Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB13?

Queens CB13: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 14, 2025

The Blood on the Asphalt

Twelve dead. Eight seriously hurt. That is the count in Queens CB13 over the last year. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care about hope. They only grow.

Just last week, a man tried to cross 155th Street at South Conduit Avenue. A car hit him. The driver did not stop. The man died at Jamaica Hospital. Police said, “The driver sped off without stopping. No arrests have been made.” NY Daily News.

A day before, two men stood at a food truck. A car jumped the curb and killed them both. The street was left with bodies and broken glass. A witness said, “I have never seen anything like this,” his head in his hands.

In the last twelve months:

  • 2,505 crashes
  • 1,813 injured
  • 12 killed

The dead do not get a second chance. The living get to wait for the next siren.

Who Pays the Price

Pedestrians and cyclists take the worst of it. Cars and SUVs are the main weapons: 4 killed, 339 minor injuries, 77 moderate, 6 serious. Trucks and buses killed 2, injured 27 more. Bikes hurt 2. Motorcycles and mopeds did not kill, but the numbers are small. NYC Open Data

The old and the young are not spared. Four people over 75 died. Children under 18 were injured 183 times.

What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done

Some leaders have moved. State Senator Leroy Comrie voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat speeders to install speed limiters. Assembly Member Clyde Vanel voted to extend school speed zones. These are steps, not leaps.

But the streets do not wait for committee votes. The carnage continues. Council Member Selvena Brooks-Powers said, “Historically in New York City in particular, the transportation system has had many barriers for communities that live in transportation deserts from reaching economic opportunity.” The barriers now are blood and broken bodies.

The Next Step Is Yours

Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement against repeat speeders. Demand streets that do not kill.

The dead cannot call. The living must.
