Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in New Springville-Willowbrook-Bulls Head-Travis?
Warehouse Deaths, City Silence: How Many More Will Trucks Crush?
New Springville-Willowbrook-Bulls Head-Travis: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Don’t Lie
In the last year, 279 people were hurt in crashes here. Four were seriously injured. One did not come home. The dead man was 34. He was crushed by a box truck at an Amazon warehouse. He had two daughters. He was killed on the job. “He was 34 years old. He had two daughters. He was killed on the job.”
Children are not spared. A 6-year-old girl was hit by a sedan turning left at Richmond Avenue. She left the scene with pain in her head. She survived. Others may not.
Trucks, SUVs, sedans—they all draw blood. In three years: 2 deaths, 721 injuries, 5 serious injuries. The numbers do not rest. They do not care who you are.
Warehouse Shadows and Night Shifts
The dead man was working a night shift. The truck backed up. He was gone. The driver stayed. No charges. The NYPD investigates. Amazon calls it a tragedy. “This is a horrible tragedy, and our thoughts are with all those involved. We’re supporting law enforcement as they investigate further.”
The loading docks stay busy. The risk stays high. The next shift begins.
What Leaders Have Done—And Not Done
Local leaders have tools. They have power. New York City can now lower speed limits to 20 mph. They can redesign streets. They can demand more enforcement. But the numbers show little change. The trucks keep rolling. The children keep crossing. The injuries keep coming.
No bold new laws. No public statements from district leaders. No sign of urgency. The silence is loud.
What You Can Do
This is not fate. It is policy. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand protected crossings. Demand action for every life lost and every child hurt. Do not wait for another family to grieve. Take action now.

Distracted Driver Hits Pedestrian in Crosswalk▸A sedan struck a woman crossing Steinway Ave. She suffered arm abrasions. Police cite driver inattention and inexperience. The street became a danger zone in seconds.
A sedan hit a 45-year-old woman as she crossed Steinway Ave at Travis Ave in Staten Island. She was in a marked crosswalk, no signal, and suffered abrasions to her arm. According to the police report, the driver was distracted and inexperienced. The driver was making a left turn when the crash happened. The report lists 'Driver Inattention/Distraction' and 'Driver Inexperience' as contributing factors. No injuries were reported for the driver or the vehicle registrant. The impact was to the center front of the sedan.
Confusing Bus Lane Signs Spur Crashes▸Poor DOT signs on Hylan Boulevard sow chaos. Drivers turn from the wrong lane. Collisions mount. Bus lane rules shift by the hour. The street stays dangerous for those on foot and bike.
According to amny (2025-08-05), collisions on Hylan Boulevard have risen due to unclear DOT signage about bus lane hours. Borough President Vito Fossella noted, “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane.” The article reports 32 crashes in 2025 tied to drivers making right turns from the middle lane instead of the curb-side bus lane. Some signs list hours, others only say 'Bus Corridor Photo,' confusing drivers. The lack of clear, consistent information leaves intersections hazardous, especially for vulnerable road users. The report highlights a pressing need for better signage and clearer policy.

Poor DOT signs on Hylan Boulevard sow chaos. Drivers turn from the wrong lane. Collisions mount. Bus lane rules shift by the hour. The street stays dangerous for those on foot and bike.
According to amny (2025-08-05), collisions on Hylan Boulevard have risen due to unclear DOT signage about bus lane hours. Borough President Vito Fossella noted, “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane.” The article reports 32 crashes in 2025 tied to drivers making right turns from the middle lane instead of the curb-side bus lane. Some signs list hours, others only say 'Bus Corridor Photo,' confusing drivers. The lack of clear, consistent information leaves intersections hazardous, especially for vulnerable road users. The report highlights a pressing need for better signage and clearer policy.
