Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Corona?

Preventable Speeding in Corona School Zones

(since 2022)
Junction and Corona: a turn, three people down

Junction and Corona: a turn, three people down

Corona: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025

Just after 8 PM on Sep 10 at Junction Blvd and Corona Ave, a driver turned left and hit three people in the intersection, including a 3‑year‑old and a 9‑year‑old. Police recorded failure to yield by the driver. City data shows all three were pedestrians at the corner.

This Week

  • Sep 5, at 104 St and 43 Ave, a driver in an SUV turned left and injured a woman crossing with the signal. Police noted “view obstructed.” Source
  • Aug 15, at Roosevelt Ave and 112 St, a person on a bike was injured in a crash involving a sedan and an SUV. Source
  • Jul 12, near 108 St, a driver in an SUV hit a man walking outside an intersection; police recorded distraction and limited view. Source

The toll in Corona

Since 2022, Corona has logged 1,795 crashes, 890 injuries, 8 serious injuries, and 5 deaths. City data.

People on foot bear the brunt: 252 pedestrians injured and 3 killed; people on bikes: 113 injured. Data.

Deaths are not confined to night. The record shows fatalities at 3 AM, 4 AM, 10 AM, 4 PM, and 8 PM. Left turns and inattention recur in the files. Data.

Corners that keep breaking people

Roosevelt Avenue and 111 Street stands out with deaths and injuries. So does the Grand Central Parkway. Data.

At Junction and Corona on Sep 10, police again cited failure to yield during a left turn. At 43 Ave and 104 St on Sep 5, police listed a blocked view as the driver turned left. The pattern is plain in the paperwork. Crash records.

A mother in this district once put it simply after another Queens child was killed: “I fight so hard for improved public transit because there are too many cars on the road, particularly SUVs and pickup trucks that do not allow for full visibility in city streets.” Streetsblog.

Fix what the files show

Start where people are getting hit: daylight the corners on Roosevelt Avenue and 111 Street; add hardened left turns and leading pedestrian intervals at Junction Blvd and Corona Ave and at 104 St and 43 Ave. Targeted failure‑to‑yield enforcement at repeat hotspots can keep turning drivers honest. These steps follow the factors written by police in the reports. Data.

Then go citywide. Lower the default speed limit under Sammy’s Law and use it on every local street. Require speed limiters for repeat offenders under the Stop Super Speeders Act. Both measures are on the table. Our explainer is here.

Who must move now

This is State Senator Jessica Ramos, Council Member Francisco P. Moya, and Assembly Member Catalina Cruz.

Ramos has already backed the speed‑limiter bill, co‑sponsoring and voting yes on S 4045 in committee. Open States. The Assembly has its companion. Will Cruz press it? The City can also set safer speeds; will Moya push to use that power where people keep getting hit? The next step is simple and public.

Act before the next left turn. Take one minute and tell them to do it.
