Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in North Corona?
Northern Boulevard Bleeds—Who Will Stop the Next Death?
North Corona: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
A Year of Broken Bodies and Broken Promises
The streets of North Corona do not forgive. In the past twelve months, one person died and 155 were injured in crashes here. Two suffered injuries so grave they may never walk the same. The toll is not numbers. It is a father who will not come home, a teenager with a bandaged head, a cyclist left bleeding on the curb.
Northern Boulevard is a killing ground. In February, a 23-year-old man, Justin Diaz, was driving to work. He never made it. An off-duty firefighter, drunk and high, sped through a red light at 83 miles per hour and hit him broadside. Diaz died at Elmhurst Hospital. His mother said, “My son’s life mattered just like anyone else’s. An innocent 23-year-old going to work. It’s very, very sad. My heart is broken forever.”
The driver, Michael Pena, had 25 school zone speeding tickets in the past year. He is charged with manslaughter. The system let him keep driving. Justin’s brother said, “He is a dangerous person who should have never been on these streets,”.
The Numbers Do Not Lie
In three and a half years, North Corona saw 851 crashes, 442 injuries, 5 serious injuries, and 1 death. The wounded are not just drivers. 45 children under 18 were hurt. Cyclists and pedestrians are struck by cars, SUVs, trucks, and motorcycles. The street is a gauntlet.
SUVs and sedans are the main weapons. In the last year, they caused the most injuries to pedestrians. Trucks, bikes, and mopeds also left people bleeding. The violence is relentless, the pattern clear.
Leadership: Words, Not Action
Local leaders talk of Vision Zero and safer streets. But the blood on Northern Boulevard says otherwise. The city has the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. It has not done so here. Speed cameras work, but the law that keeps them running is always at risk. The Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program lapsed. The silence is loud.
What Now?
This is not fate. It is policy. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras that never go dark. Demand streets that do not kill. Do not wait for another family to grieve. Take action now.
