- Crashes: number of police‑reported collisions (all road users).
- All injuries: total injured people in those crashes.
- Moderate / Serious: subcategories reported by officers (e.g., broken bones vs. life‑threatening trauma).
- Deaths: people who died due to a crash.
Notes: Police reports can be corrected after initial publication. Minor incidents without a police report are not included.

About this chart
We group pedestrian injuries and deaths by the vehicle type that struck them (as recorded in police reports). Use the dropdown to view totals, serious injuries, or deaths.
- Trucks/Buses, SUVs/Cars, Mopeds, and Bikes reflect the reporting categories in the crash dataset.
- Counts include people on foot only; crashes with no injured pedestrians are not shown here.
Notes: Police classification can change during investigations. Small categories may have year‑to‑year variance.
CloseAbout these numbers
These totals count vehicles with at least the shown number of camera‑issued speeding violations (school‑zone speed cameras) in any rolling 12‑month window in this district. Totals are summed from 2022 to the present for this geography.
- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.
About this list
This ranks vehicles by the number of NYC school‑zone speed‑camera violations they received in the last 12 months anywhere in the city. The smaller note shows how many times the same plate was caught in this area in the last 90 days.
Camera violations are issued by NYC DOT’s program. Counts reflect issued tickets and may omit dismissed or pending cases. Plate text is shown verbatim as recorded.

Ozone Park: Speed, night, and the body count
Ozone Park (North): Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- Two men died on Atlantic Avenue at 87th Street in daylight. The police file lists both as pedestrians, both killed, the SUV “going straight ahead” with center‑front damage. The driver survived. The record shows no crosswalk note, just two lives gone. See the city’s own file, CrashID 4801846, with times, modes, and injuries in the dataset.
- A 23‑year‑old died on 101st Street near 103‑53 at 11:32 p.m. The city file says “Unsafe Speed.” Pavement was slippery. He was a pedestrian. Dead on scene. CrashID 4832080 is listed in the same dataset.
- A 38‑year‑old man took a sedan to the head at Rockaway Boulevard and 86‑15 just after 4 a.m. The file marks “Unsafe Speed.” He lived, but with severe bleeding. CrashID 4832481 is in the same records.
“Speed.” It keeps turning up in the files.
Three corners. One fix.
- The worst toll sits on 87 St at Atlantic Ave: two dead in one crash.
- Another death hit 101 St near 103‑53. Night. Slippery. Speed.
- Injuries pile up on 101 Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard.
In this small patch since 2022: pedestrians took 57 injuries and 4 deaths; people in cars took 230 injuries; cyclists 11 injuries. That split is in the city roll‑up for this area here. Nights bite hard. Injuries jump at 5 p.m., 7–9 a.m., and again late: 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. show the deaths. The hourly curve sits in the city file here.
The pattern does not hide.
- Contributing factors logged for this area put “other” first, but speed is carved into bodies and timestamps. The local analysis shows “unsafe speed” on fatal and severe cases, with roadway surface flagged in deaths, too. See the small‑area analysis drawn from city data here.
- A three‑year‑old boy was hurt at Rockaway Boulevard and 84th Street. The file marks “Unsafe Speed” and “Traffic Control Disregarded.” Severe lacerations. Conscious. CrashID 4835025 is in the records here.
Officials know what works — do they?
- Albany kept 24/7 school‑zone cameras alive through 2030. Some city lawmakers fought it. One Queens pol voted no; the roll call is documented here. Another Queens councilmember opposed camera expansion earlier while racking up dozens of violations, reported here and in a contemporaneous account here.
- The state is moving a bill to force “intelligent speed assistance” on repeat violators. Senator Joe Addabbo voted yes in committee. The bill file is S 4045; the votes posted on June 11 and 12, 2025, are noted here.
A citywide fix sits on the desk.
- Sammy’s Law lets the city set lower limits. Our own site lays out the case and the call for a default 20 mph. Read it and pick up the phone here.
- Cameras are renewed. The worst drivers kill out of proportion. The Stop Super Speeders Act would cut them down with speed limiters. The action steps are listed here.
What to do at these corners
- Daylight the mouths of Atlantic Avenue at 87th and 82nd. Clear the sightlines. Harden the turns. Tie in leading pedestrian intervals. The crash files and local analysis show pedestrians hit at and near intersections and by turning and fast‑moving cars. See the city data powering this here.
- Slow Rockaway Boulevard. The records show “Unsafe Speed” across multiple crashes, including the 4 a.m. hit listed above. Use raised crossings and enforced signals at 84th–86th. The source file is the same dataset.
- Target night hours. The death curve spikes late. Focus enforcement and calming after dark. The hourly distribution is posted here.
One number to carry home: four dead here since 2022. Most on foot. The state has a tool. The city has a law. Use them. Then come fix these blocks.
Take one step now. Ask the city to drop the limit to 20 mph and back speed limiters for repeat offenders. Start here.

Rajkumar Condemns Traffic Violence Supports Safety Boosting Reforms▸Feb 23 - A pedestrian was crushed three times at a deadly Queens crossing. DOT chief Rodriguez vowed swift action: raised crosswalks, new signals, lane changes. Council Member Holden demanded more time to cross, enforcement, and real protection. Residents called it traffic violence.
On February 23, 2022, DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez pledged immediate safety improvements at a notorious Queens intersection, after a pedestrian was run over three times by two drivers. The agency cited 'raised crosswalks, pedestrian-only signal timing, new lane markings and other lane redesigns' as part of its response. Council Member Bob Holden, speaking at the scene, pressed for longer crossing times, raised crosswalks, and enforcement against illegal parking and reckless driving. Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar called the situation 'traffic violence,' demanding stronger city control over speed limits and cameras. The redesign is part of Mayor Adams's plan to fix 1,000 dangerous intersections. Residents and advocates highlighted the ongoing threat from large vehicles and a culture of reckless driving. DOT has already installed a pedestrian-only signal phase at the site.

Melinda R Katz Supports Hit-and-Run Enforcement Opposes NYPD Ineffectiveness▸Feb 15 - Police finally charged Christian Soriano for killing Darwin Durazno, a teen cyclist, in College Point. Soriano, unlicensed, fled after swerving into oncoming traffic and striking Durazno. The arrest came months later. Most hit-and-run drivers in New York escape justice.
On February 9, 2022, NYPD arrested Christian Soriano, 27, for the June 4, 2021 hit-and-run crash that killed 16-year-old cyclist Darwin Durazno in College Point, Queens. Soriano faces manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, and leaving the scene charges. The crash happened when Soriano, driving a Toyota Camry, swerved into oncoming traffic and struck Durazno, who later died from severe head trauma. The car, a rental, was found nearby. Witnesses described Soriano as he fled on foot. Despite these leads, it took eight months to make an arrest. The matter highlights systemic failure: in 2020, NYPD made arrests in only 0.8 percent of hit-and-run cases involving injuries or property damage. Even in serious injury cases, arrests are rare. Vulnerable road users remain at risk while most drivers evade consequences.

SUV Slams Sedan’s Rear on 94 Street▸Jan 30 - An SUV struck a sedan’s rear in Queens. The sedan driver, 63, took a blow to the head and whiplash. Both cars moved straight. No pedestrians. No clear cause. Metal and bodies hit hard.
According to the police report, an SUV hit the right rear quarter panel of a sedan on 94 Street in Queens. The sedan’s 63-year-old male driver suffered head injuries and whiplash. He was conscious and restrained by a lap belt and harness. The report lists contributing factors as unspecified, with no driver errors identified. Both vehicles were traveling straight before the crash. No pedestrians were involved. The SUV’s front and the sedan’s rear took the brunt of the impact.

Melinda R Katz Opposes DA Decision Shielding Deadly Drivers▸Jan 13 - A speeding Mercedes driver killed a delivery man in Queens. The DA declined charges. In deposition, the driver showed little remorse. She blamed her car, denied fault, and dodged questions. The victim’s family pursues civil justice. Systemic failures shield deadly drivers.
On April 29, 2021, Maro Andrianou, driving a Mercedes-Benz, struck and killed delivery worker Xing Long Lin on 35th Street near Ditmars Boulevard in Queens. The case never reached criminal court. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz declined to prosecute, citing Andrianou’s claim that her car accelerated uncontrollably after a minor rear tap. Video evidence contradicted this, showing only a light bump. In a December 8, 2021, deposition for a civil suit, Andrianou showed little remorse, blaming her car and denying responsibility. Attorneys for Lin’s family called her defense 'fabricated.' Katz’s decision left the victim’s family with only civil recourse. The case underscores how drivers who kill often escape criminal accountability, leaving vulnerable road users at risk.
