Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Murray Hill-Broadway Flushing?
No More Bodies in the Crosswalk: Demand Action Now
Murray Hill-Broadway Flushing: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 17, 2025
The Numbers Do Not Lie
Five dead. Six left with life-altering injuries. In Murray Hill-Broadway Flushing, the years since 2022 have been marked by the steady grind of crashes. 808 crashes. 452 people hurt. These are not just numbers. Each is a body on the pavement, a family waiting by a hospital bed. No one under 18 has died, but children are not spared: 19 injured in the last year alone (city crash data).
Who Pays the Price
Pedestrians and the old bear the brunt. In the last three years, SUVs and sedans have killed four people and seriously injured five more. Trucks and buses add to the toll. Cyclists are struck, arms broken, lives upended. The elderly are hit crossing the street. A child is struck in a crosswalk. The pattern is clear. The pain is not spread evenly.
Leadership: Words and Silence
City leaders talk of Vision Zero and safer streets. They tout speed cameras and lower speed limits. But in this district, the carnage continues. “They accelerated toward the cops, nearly striking them,” (reported the New York Post). Cars used as weapons. Streets used as escape routes. The city has the power to lower speed limits. The city has the tools to redesign streets. But the bodies keep coming.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is a choice made by those in power. The city can act. The council can act. You can act. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand protected crossings. Demand that the city use every tool it has—now. Do not wait for another name to become a number.
Take action today. Here’s how.

John Liu Supports Safety Boosting Pedestrian Infrastructure Improvements▸A 73-year-old man died under the wheels of a Ford van at a notorious Staten Island crossing. The driver walked free. The intersection lacked a proper pedestrian signal. Forest Avenue is a killing ground. City leaders have failed to act. Blood stains the street.
On November 21, 2022, Yingqui Liu, age 73, was struck and killed by a turning van at South Avenue and Forest Avenue, Staten Island. No charges were filed against the driver.

She said, 'Crossing the street should not be a death sentence.' At least 99 pedestrians have died on city streets this year, making it the second deadliest since Vision Zero began. Forty-two seniors have been killed, three-quarters while walking. The city has not improved this deadly stretch.
