Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Elmhurst?
Eight Dead in Elmhurst—How Many More Before City Hall Acts?
Elmhurst: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Death Count Grows
In Elmhurst, the numbers do not lie. Eight people killed. Over one thousand injured. These are not just numbers. They are neighbors, children, elders. In the last twelve months alone, one person died and 297 were hurt in 566 crashes. One was a child. One was someone’s parent. The street does not care who you are.
Pedestrians take the worst of it. Trucks, SUVs, bikes, mopeds—each has left bodies broken or dead. A 43-year-old woman, crossing with the light, was killed by a turning dump truck on 80th Street. A 75-year-old man died after a bike hit him at Broadway and Roosevelt. A 78-year-old woman was struck by a moped in a crosswalk. A man was crushed by an SUV on Broadway. The list goes on. See the data.
Promises and Delays
Local leaders talk about Vision Zero. They say one death is too many. But the deaths keep coming. The city has new powers under Sammy’s Law to lower speed limits to 20 mph. The law is on the books. The streets are not yet safer. Speed cameras work, but their future is always in doubt. Each delay is another risk, another family left to mourn.
Who Pays the Price?
The most vulnerable pay first. In Elmhurst, the old and the young are hit hardest. Cars and trucks killed and maimed. Bikes and mopeds, too. The street is a gauntlet. The city counts the bodies. The politicians count the votes.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. Every crash is preventable. Every death is a failure. Call your council member. Demand the 20 mph limit. Demand more cameras. Demand streets that put people first.
Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.

Krishnan Joins Call for Increased Streets Master Plan Funding▸Council members and advocates rallied at City Hall. They demanded $3.1 billion for the Streets Master Plan. Traffic deaths surged 44 percent in early 2022. The mayor’s budget falls short. The city stalls. Streets remain deadly. The call: fund safety now.
On April 22, 2022, more than a dozen City Council members and advocates gathered at City Hall to demand full funding for the Streets Master Plan. The plan, passed in 2019, requires hundreds of miles of protected bike lanes, bus lanes, and safer sidewalks. Council Member Alexa Avilés led the call: "We want $3.1 billion, a little tiny fraction of the [nearly $100-billion] city budget, to make sure our streets belong to us, and to make sure New Yorkers are safe." Council Members Selvena Brooks-Powers, Carlina Rivera, Lincoln Restler, Sandy Nurse, Chi Ossé, Crystal Hudson, Shekar Krishnan, and Amanda Farías joined her. Traffic fatalities rose 44 percent in the first quarter of 2022, the deadliest start since Vision Zero began. The mayor’s proposed $98.5-billion budget did not allocate significant funds for the plan. Advocates say the city must act now to stem the bloodshed on its streets.
