Park road, body, blind spot
Flushing Meadows-Corona Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 10, 2025
Just after midday on Aug 23, on United Nations Ave S in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, a driver in a Ford sedan going straight hit a person in the roadway. Police recorded driver inattention. The pedestrian died (NYC Open Data).
They were one of 4 pedestrians killed in this area since 2022 (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Aug 25: a left-turning sedan hit a parked car nearby. No injuries recorded (NYC Open Data).
The pattern on park roads and expressways
Two deaths have been recorded along United Nations Ave S itself since 2022 (NYC Open Data). Van Wyck Expressway and Grand Central Parkway also rank among the worst locations for injuries and deaths in this area (NYC Open Data).
In the last 12 months, crashes here reached 512, with 3 people killed and 422 injured (NYC Open Data). Year to date, crashes are up 23.5% over last year’s pace (NYC Open Data).
Police reports cite driver inattention and distraction, failure to yield, alcohol involvement, and improper turns in local crashes (NYC Open Data). Pedestrian deaths recorded here involved drivers in sedans and SUVs (NYC Open Data).
When the light fades, the risk rises
Late afternoon is a danger hour. The 4 PM hour shows 2 deaths in this area since 2022 (NYC Open Data). Night brings more injuries, too, pointing to visibility and speed on wide roads through the park and along the expressways (NYC Open Data).
On Aug 23, police logged driver inattention in the fatal park-road crash (NYC Open Data). The record repeats itself across the map.
Fix the streets that keep killing
Start where people are dying: United Nations Ave S, and the park feeders to Van Wyck and Grand Central. Install daylighting at crossings, hardened left turns, and raised crosswalks on park roads. Add speed-calming near trailheads and parking entrances. Target late-day and night with focused enforcement on failure to yield and speeding. These tools fit the pattern in the data (NYC Open Data).
Then cut speed citywide and stop the worst repeat offenders.
- The state’s Stop Super Speeders Act, S4045, would require speed limiters for drivers who rack up repeat violations. State Sen. John Liu co-sponsored it and voted yes in committee in June 2025 (Open States).
- Your Assembly Member is Sam Berger. Your Council Member is James F. Gennaro. The tools exist; the road toll is public.
A person died in the park on a clear afternoon. We know where the bodies fall. We know what slows cars. Act now: take one step.
