Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Jamaica Estates-Holliswood?
Jamaica Estates Bleeds: Streets Still Kill, Leaders Still Stall
Jamaica Estates-Holliswood: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Do Not Lie
One death. Five serious injuries. Four hundred forty-nine hurt. These are not numbers from a war zone. They are the cost of moving through Jamaica Estates-Holliswood since 2022, according to NYC crash data. The dead do not speak. The injured carry the story in scars and limps. The pain is quiet, but it does not stop.
Pedestrians are struck at intersections and in the crosswalk. An 83-year-old woman killed by a box truck turning right at Union Turnpike and 193rd Street. A 29-year-old man, crossing with the signal, left with deep wounds to his legs. A 74-year-old man, not even in the roadway, cut down by a backing sedan. The street does not care about age or reason. It only takes.
Patterns in the Wreckage
Cars and trucks do most of the harm. No cyclist has died here in three years, but the threat is always present. Trucks, sedans, SUVs—these are the weapons. The victims are often walking, sometimes just standing. The violence is routine. The shock is not.
Crashes are not rare. In the last twelve months alone, 224 crashes. One hundred fifty-nine injured. One left with injuries so severe they may never heal. The numbers do not fall. They hold steady, year after year. The disaster is slow, but it does not stop.
Leadership: Action or Delay?
The city has tools. Sammy’s Law lets New York lower speed limits to 20 mph. The city can act now, but has not. Speed cameras work, but their future is always in doubt. Local leaders talk of safety, but the street remains the same. Each day of delay is another roll of the dice for the next person crossing.
The time for waiting is over.
Call to Action
Demand more. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to lower the speed limit. Tell them to protect speed cameras. Tell them to build streets that do not kill. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. Take action now.
