Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Maspeth?
Maspeth Bleeds: Speed Kills, Leaders Stall
Maspeth: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 16, 2025
The Toll in Maspeth: Broken Bodies, Silent Streets
In Maspeth, the numbers do not tell the whole story, but they do not lie. Since 2022, eleven people have died and over 800 have been injured in 1,384 crashes. Eight were left with injuries so severe they may never walk the same. No one is spared—children, elders, cyclists, workers. The dead do not speak. The living carry scars.
Trucks and SUVs hit hardest. In these years, trucks and buses killed two and hurt seven more. Cars and SUVs injured 82. Motorcycles and mopeds left five more battered. One cyclist died, crushed by a truck on Maurice Avenue. A 75-year-old woman was killed crossing with the signal, struck by a turning pickup on Fresh Pond Road. The street was hers for a moment. Then it was not. NYC Open Data
Recent Crashes: No End in Sight
The carnage does not pause. In the last year alone, 241 people were hurt in 384 crashes. This year, injuries are up again. No deaths yet, but the year is not over. The pattern is old. The pain is fresh.
Local Leaders: Progress and Delay
Some leaders have moved. Senator Michael Gianaris voted yes to curb repeat speeders—backing a bill to force speed limiters on the worst offenders. He called for stronger penalties, saying, “Repeat reckless drivers must be held to account.” Assembly Member Claire Valdez co-sponsored the same bill. Council Member Bob Holden backed new protected bike lanes on Cypress Avenue, a rare step for him. But the pace is slow. The danger is not.
The Call: Demand More, Demand It Now
Every crash is preventable. Every injury is a failure. Contact your council member, your senator, your assembly member. Tell them the numbers are not just numbers. Tell them to pass the Stop Super Speeders Act. Tell them to build more protected lanes, daylight every corner, and lower the speed limit. Do not wait for another name on the list.
