Jamaica Estates–Holliswood: Two pedestrians gone, hundreds hurt, and speed still wins

Grand Central and Union: the grind

Injuries pile up on the Grand Central Parkway: 211 hurt, 3 seriously. Union Turnpike saw one killed, 6 injured. Union Tpke also logged another death with 12 injuries. This is not one bad corner. It is a corridor.

The clock tells the story too. Injuries spike in the late afternoon and evening: 5 p.m. (51), 1–2 p.m. (36 each), and 8 p.m. (30), with a death at 9 a.m. and another at 8 p.m. NYC Open Data.

Two pedestrians, two endings

On Feb. 24, 2022, an 83‑year‑old woman was killed at Union Turnpike and 193rd Street. The driver of a 2019 box truck was turning right. Police recorded the crash as a pedestrian fatality at an intersection. Crash record.

“Two motorists were badly hurt and still have not fully recovered,” Queens DA Melinda Katz said in another Queens case, after a driver went the wrong way on the Clearview and hit five cars. He told police, “I entered the… expressway in the wrong direction because I wanted to hurt people.” He got eight years. amNY.

Who gets hit, and when

Most of the hurt are car occupants: 468 injured, 4 seriously. Pedestrians: 51 injured, 3 seriously, and 2 killed. Cyclists: 10 injured. Trucks and buses are a small share of collisions, but they account for one of the two pedestrian deaths in this area. Neighborhood rollup.

Contributing factors in the data name “failure to yield” and alcohol in a handful of cases, but most entries land under “other” or “unspecified.” The outcome is not vague: 100+ harmed across midday into night, every day, for years. City dataset.

Fix the line of fire

Start with the known killers along Union Turnpike and the Grand Central service roads. Daylight corners. Harden right turns for trucks. Give leading pedestrian intervals. Slow approach speeds. Then hold the worst drivers.

Albany moved a tool. The Senate advanced a bill to force speed limiters on repeat violators; Sen. Toby Stavisky voted yes in committee on S4045. The bill targets drivers who rack up points or multiple camera tickets. Open States.

City Hall already has another tool. Lawmakers renewed 24/7 school‑zone speed cameras through 2030, but some city Assembly Members voted no, including David Weprin. Streetsblog named them. Streetsblog NYC.

Slow every street

Lower speeds save lives. New York can lower local limits and expand 20 mph zones now; advocates are pressing for a citywide default and faster action. Our city page shows how to push. Take action.
