Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in South Ozone Park?
South Ozone Park: Six Dead, City Silent—Lower the Speed, Save a Life
South Ozone Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 17, 2025
The Toll in South Ozone Park
Blood on the asphalt. In the last twelve months, four people died and thirteen suffered serious injuries on the streets of South Ozone Park. The bodies are not numbers. A cyclist was left in critical condition after a hit-and-run on 115th Avenue. Police found him unconscious. The driver kept going. “They are now looking for evidence to help them track down the driver” (ABC7).
A woman, 51, killed by a taxi at Lefferts and 115th. A child, crushed but alive. A 52-year-old pedestrian struck dead by a motorcycle at Liberty and 114th. A moped driver, helmet on, ejected and killed on Nassau Expressway. The list does not end. Four deaths. Thirteen serious injuries. Over 1,700 hurt.
The Pattern: Cars, Speed, and Silence
The machines do not care. Cars and SUVs led the roll call of harm: one death, five serious injuries, thirty-eight moderate injuries. Motorcycles and mopeds killed one, seriously injured two, and left another with a broken body. Trucks and buses, too, left their mark. Bikes, one moderate injury. The pattern is clear. The violence is not random.
Leadership: Promises and Delays
The city talks about Vision Zero. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. The city can lower speed limits to 20 mph. But the limit stands. The council waits. The mayor waits. The dead do not wait. Speed cameras cut speeding by 63% where installed. Injuries drop 14%. But the law that keeps them running is always at risk. “Police report that several pedestrians were struck at the location, resulting in at least nine injuries” (ABC7).
What Now: No More Waiting
Every day of delay is another day of blood. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph limit. Demand speed cameras stay on. Join the fight. The dead cannot speak. You must.
