Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Jamaica?
Jamaica Bleeds While Leaders Stall: Demand Safe Streets Now
Jamaica: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 19, 2025
The Toll in Jamaica: Lives Shattered, Streets Unchanged
In the past year, Jamaica saw 1 killed, 5 seriously hurt, and 475 injured in 766 crashes. The numbers do not bleed, but the people do. Last month, a 16-year-old was left with severe facial wounds after a moped and taxi collided on Hillside Avenue. The cause: unsafe speed and a bad lane change. The boy survived. Many do not.
Pedestrians, cyclists, and children remain at risk. In the last twelve months, 42 children were injured on these streets. One person over 55 died. The roll call of pain is long, and it does not end.
“I Went This Way and That Way”: The Human Cost
On July 11, an MTA bus in Queens jumped the curb and struck a pole, injuring eight. Ken Baur, a passenger, said, “I was all the way in the back and all of a sudden the bus hit the curb, I guess, jumped the curb, I went this way and that way and banged into the side of the bus.” The driver had fallen asleep. The MTA pulled him from service. The investigation is not over. The injuries were called minor. For the people on that bus, the memory will not be.
A few blocks away, a 56-year-old man was killed crossing Hillside Avenue. He was not at a crosswalk. The SUV kept going straight. The man did not.
Leadership: Votes, Delays, and the Fight for Safer Streets
Local leaders have taken some steps. State Senator Leroy Comrie voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat speeders to install speed-limiting devices. He also voted to extend school speed zones. These are steps, not leaps.
But the pace is slow. It still takes years to get a speed hump. The city can lower speed limits to 20 mph, but has not done so everywhere. The carnage continues.
The Next Step: Demand Action Now
Every day of delay is another day of blood on the street. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras. Demand streets where a child can cross without fear.
Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
