Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in South Jamaica?
Blood on the Crosswalk: South Jamaica Pays for City Hall’s Inaction
South Jamaica: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 11, 2025
The Toll in South Jamaica
The streets of South Jamaica do not forgive. Since 2022, three people have died and 631 have been injured in crashes here. Eight of those injuries were serious. The numbers do not tell you about the silence after the sirens fade. They do not show you the blood on the crosswalk or the shoes left behind.
Cars and SUVs did most of the harm. They killed one person and injured over eighty more. Trucks, buses, motorcycles, mopeds, and bikes added to the count. The dead and wounded are not just numbers. They are neighbors, children, workers, elders.
Recent Crashes: No End in Sight
The violence does not stop. In the last year alone, one person died and 199 were injured in 318 crashes. A 45-year-old woman was killed crossing at 158th Street and 111th Avenue by an SUV. The cause: driver inattention. She died at the intersection, her life ended by a moment’s distraction (NYC Open Data).
A 50-year-old cyclist was crushed by a sedan on Liberty Avenue. The driver was not paying attention. The cyclist survived, but with crushed legs and a future changed forever (NYC Open Data).
Voices from the Wreckage
The pain is not abstract. It is sharp and real. After a crash in Queens Village, a passenger recalled, “We didn’t see the crane coming… then the crane just hits us.” She added, “I was holding on for my life back there.”
After a deadly crash on the Belt Parkway, a survivor said, “They went airborne and into the barrier.”
Leadership: Steps Forward, Steps Back
Local leaders have passed some laws to help. Council Member Nantasha Williams voted to legalize jaywalking, ending a policy that punished the vulnerable instead of protecting them (These are new traffic laws in New York slated for 2025). She co-sponsored bills for better lighting, safer crossings, and more reporting on police vehicle crashes (File Int 0079-2024). But too many bills sit stalled in committee. Promises wait in the dark while people die in the street.
The Call
This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is a choice made by those in power. Call your council member. Demand real change. Demand slower speeds, safer crossings, and streets built for people, not just cars. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
