Afternoon death by the tennis center, and a clock that will not stop
Queens CB81: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 10, 2025
Just after 4 PM on Aug 23, by United Nations Ave S in Flushing Meadows, a driver in a Ford sedan hit a person outside an intersection. Police recorded driver inattention. The pedestrian died (NYC Open Data).
They were one of 4 people killed in Queens CB81 since Jan 1, 2022, in a total of 946 crashes that hurt 799 people and left 8 seriously injured (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Aug 23: a driver killed a pedestrian near United Nations Ave S; police cited inattention (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 9: two sedans collided on Shea Road, per city data (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 1: a pickup rear‑ended a sedan on the parkway, per city data (NYC Open Data).
Deadly patterns, same places
- Police logged two deaths at “14 United Nations Ave S,” the same stretch where last month’s fatal crash occurred (NYC Open Data). Roosevelt Avenue shows 13 injuries and two serious injuries. Grand Central Parkway, Van Wyck, and the Long Island Expressway rack up the bulk of injuries, mostly to vehicle occupants, but people walking and biking are not spared here.
- In this area, pedestrians account for 3 of the deaths and 20 injuries since 2022. Cyclists were recorded in 10 crashes with 2 serious injuries (NYC Open Data).
- Police cite failure to yield and driver inattention in this district’s injury crashes. In the Aug 23 death, they recorded driver inattention by the person behind the wheel (NYC Open Data).
- The clock is not kind. Deaths appear around midnight, late morning, and late afternoon in the dataset’s hourly log (NYC Open Data).
No safe hour on the parkways
- A 41‑year‑old man died on the Van Wyck Expressway on Dec 3, 2024. He was a pedestrian, recorded as outside an intersection (NYC Open Data).
- A right‑turning sedan driver injured a 24‑year‑old man crossing at Seaver Way and Northern Blvd on Jul 20, 2025. Police recorded failure to yield and inattention (NYC Open Data).
- A cyclist was hurt on the Van Wyck on Jul 4, 2024. Police noted driver inattention in that crash as well (NYC Open Data).
What leaders have done — and what they have not
- State Sen. John Liu co‑sponsored and voted yes on the state’s speed‑limiter bill S 4045 in June 2025, aimed at repeat speeders (Open States).
- Council Member James F. Gennaro and Assembly Member Sam Berger represent this area. The city can lower speeds on local streets; New Yorkers are already pushing for a 20 MPH default and tools to stop repeat speeders. The steps are laid out here.
Make the fixes where people get hit
- Daylight corners on Roosevelt Avenue. Give pedestrians a head start and harden the turns.
- On Seaver Way at Northern Blvd, protect the crossing and slow the turning lane.
- Around United Nations Ave S and inside the park, mark slow zones, post daylighting, and enforce yielding to people on foot.
A driver looked away, and a person died on a bright afternoon. The names change. The corners don’t. The next step is simple: slow the city and stop the worst repeat speeders. Start here.
