Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Flatlands?
Flatlands Bleeds: Speed Kills, Leaders Sleep
Flatlands: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Flatlands
Three dead. Twenty-six left with wounds that will not heal. In Flatlands, from 2022 to June 2025, the numbers do not lie. 1,281 people injured in 1,884 crashes. The dead: a 17-year-old boy, a 24-year-old woman, a 31-year-old man. Each struck down while walking. Each killed by a car or SUV. Each name lost to the street, each family left with silence.
Children are not spared. In the last year alone, 37 people under 18 were hurt. Two were left with injuries so severe they may never recover. The old are not spared. The strong are not spared. No one is spared.
The Machines That Kill
Cars and SUVs do the most harm. They killed all three pedestrians. They left dozens more with broken bones and worse. Sedans and SUVs are the constant. Trucks, motorcycles, bikes—they injure, but the deadliest wounds come from the biggest machines.
Leadership: Words, Not Enough
The city says it is acting. Speed cameras now run all day and night. The law lets the city lower speed limits to 20 mph. But in Flatlands, the blood keeps flowing. No local leader has stood in the street and said, ‘Enough.’ No council member has called for a citywide 20 mph limit here. No one has demanded more cameras, more redesigns, more protection for the old, the young, the walker, the rider.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is a choice made by someone in power. Every delay is a death sentence for someone you know. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand more cameras. Demand streets that do not bleed.
Do not wait for another child to die. Act now.
