Queens Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 6, 2025

Blood on the Asphalt

A man steps into the crosswalk. A truck turns left. He is crushed. On Hillside Avenue and 212th Street, a 29-year-old pedestrian was killed by a box truck. The cause: driver inattention. The truck kept moving. The man did not. NYC Open Data

In the last twelve months, two people died on Queens Village streets. 318 were injured. Not one was marked as a serious injury, but the wounds run deep. Children, elders, workers—no one is spared. NYC Open Data

The Numbers Do Not Lie

Since 2022, Queens Village has seen five deaths and 921 injuries from 1,551 crashes. Cars and trucks did the killing. No bikes. No mopeds. Just steel and speed. NYC Open Data

A 64-year-old man died behind the wheel. A 76-year-old woman too. Both lost to unsafe speed and ignored signals. The old and the young, all at risk. NYC Open Data

Leadership: Words and Waiting

The city talks of Vision Zero. They count the dead. They promise action. But the pace is slow. The carnage is not. In Queens, the District Attorney called it “a horrific death for the victim” when a man was dragged three blocks by a fleeing driver. “The conduct displayed that evening demonstrates a complete disregard for human life,” said Queens DA Melinda Katz.

Local leaders have the power to lower speed limits. They have the power to redesign streets. They have the power to act.

The Next Step Is Yours

Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras that never sleep. Demand streets where a child can cross and come home.

Every day of delay is another day of blood on the road. Take action now.
