Luck Isn’t Safety—Queens Streets Still Break Bodies
Queens CB80: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll, Year After Year
No one dies in Queens CB80. Not this year. Not last year. Not in the last three. But the road does not rest. Ninety-nine crashes since 2022. Sixty-two people injured. Some are children. Some are old. All are changed. data from NYC Open Data
A boy, age six, hurt in the back seat. A girl, age four, strapped in, still hurt. A man, age 64, his back wrenched by a careless lane change. A woman, age 55, whiplash. The numbers are small. The pain is not.
Patterns That Do Not Change
No one walks away untouched. Most crashes come on the Grand Central Parkway. Metal hits metal. The cause is always the same: someone too close, someone not looking, someone in a hurry. The road is a machine that does not care.
No pedestrians killed. No cyclists killed. But the threat is there, waiting. Each crash is a warning. Each injury is a debt that will be paid by someone’s body.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
The city talks of Vision Zero. The state passes laws. Speed cameras, lower limits, new rules. But here, the grind goes on. No bold local action. No public stand. No new protections for the most vulnerable.
The silence is loud. The numbers do not lie. The road is not safe, only lucky. Luck runs out.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand lower speed limits. Demand real enforcement. Demand streets built for people, not just cars. Do not wait for the first death. Act before the luck breaks.
