College Point’s numbers don’t lie: four dead, nearly 500 hurt
College Point: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 26, 2025
The street tells it plain. Since 2022, College Point logged 4 deaths and 495 injuries across 1,097 crashes. Eleven were serious. Most were car occupants. One cyclist. One pedestrian. The numbers are from the city’s own database.
Two of the dead were taken by the Whitestone Expressway. One died on College Point Boulevard. Another died on Linden Place.
Night hurts. Injuries jump after dark, with peaks at 8 p.m., 9 p.m., and 10 p.m., and deaths at 2 a.m. and 10 p.m., per the city data.
Where the pain concentrates
- Whitestone Expressway: 2 deaths, 104 injuries, 3 serious.
- College Point Boulevard: 1 death, 20 injuries.
The modes break down like this: pedestrians 1 death and 78 injuries; cyclists 1 death and 19 injuries; motor vehicle occupants 2 deaths and 378 injuries. Trucks and buses are present, but cars and SUVs dominate the harm.
Contributing factors skew vague. “Other” leads with 2 deaths and 135 injuries. Failure to yield shows in nine injuries. Red‑light running and unsafe backing show up, too. The pattern is familiar: people outside the car pay.
Names and dates
On Linden Place, a 58‑year‑old man was killed while not at an intersection. The crash list shows a 20‑year‑old driver injured in the same event (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4574337).
On College Point Boulevard at 30th Avenue, a 62‑year‑old bicyclist was killed at night (CrashID 4599746).
On the Whitestone Expressway at 2:16 a.m., two drivers died in a head‑on involving two SUVs (CrashID 4656580).
Repeat the dates. Hear the hours. The street kept moving.
The clock that doesn’t stop
In the last 12 months, this area saw 381 crashes. One hundred eighty‑nine people were hurt. Three were seriously hurt. This year to date, crashes are up 46% over last year’s pace, injuries up 89%, serious injuries up three‑fold, according to the city rollups.
The hot hours come late. Injuries swell from evening into night: 7 p.m. through 10 p.m. Deaths hit at 2 a.m. and 10 p.m. These are not anomalies. They’re grooves worn into the map.
What could be fixed here, now
- Daylight the corners on College Point Boulevard. Give people room to be seen. Harden the turns. Add leading pedestrian intervals and raised crossings at the worst junctions.
- On Whitestone Expressway access roads, slow the entries and exits. Physical narrowing. Tight radii. Median refuge where people cross service lanes.
- Target the repeat hotspots at night. Visibility. Speed checks where the data says people get hurt.
Power sits with City Hall and Albany
The city can drop speeds. Albany handed it the tool. Lowering default speeds saves lives. Our own site lays out why and how to act. The state can also choke off the worst repeat speeders. The Senate has moved a bill to require intelligent speed assistance after repeat violations; Senator Toby Stavisky voted yes in committee on S4045.
Queens leaders are pulling in different directions. Council Member Vickie Paladino sponsored a bill to strip the Streets Master Plan’s protected bike and bus lane quotas, erasing clear targets that move people safely. The same council member praised an open school street in 2024 when DOT expanded car‑free space near PS 129 (Streetsblog).
The victims here don’t need speeches. They need slower streets and fewer repeat offenders. The record is public. The trend is up.
Accountability in plain sight
- “Joseph Lee terrorized other drivers as he purposefully drove the wrong way on a busy Queens highway,” Queens DA Melinda Katz said after a wrong‑way case on the Clearview; he admitted he entered “in the wrong direction because I wanted to hurt people” (amNY).
- “The operator of the vehicle fled the scene,” police said after a pedestrian was killed near JFK. “No arrests have been made” (ABC7; Gothamist; Daily News).
These are not far‑off tales. They are our roads. Our hours.
The line we draw
- Lower speeds citywide. Use the law you have.
- Stop the worst repeat speeders with limiters. The Senate bill is on the table. Stavisky voted yes in committee (S4045).
Start here. Start now.
Take one step today. Tell City Hall to slow the streets and back state action against repeat speeders. Go to Take Action.
