Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Annadale-Huguenot-Prince'S Bay-Woodrow?
Neighbors, Not Numbers: End the Bloodshed on Staten Island Streets
Annadale-Huguenot-Prince’S Bay-Woodrow: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Two dead. Five left with life-changing wounds. In the last three and a half years, the streets of Annadale-Huguenot-Prince’s Bay-Woodrow have not been quiet. There have been 695 crashes. Four hundred ten people have been hurt. Two never made it home. Five suffered injuries so serious the scars will not fade. Children are not spared—68 injured, two seriously. The old are not spared—one dead, one seriously hurt. The numbers are not just numbers. They are neighbors, friends, sons, daughters.
The Faces Behind the Numbers
A 62-year-old man, crossing at Hylan and Seguine, struck by a truck. He was crossing with the signal. The truck kept going straight. He left the scene with blood on his head, still conscious, but nothing is the same after that crash.
A 75-year-old man, dead behind the wheel of his SUV, the car overturned, the cause left as “unspecified.” A 14-year-old boy, riding a bike, hit by a sedan. His leg torn open. A 20-year-old, also on a bike, face cut, left conscious but changed. The stories repeat. The pain does not end.
Leadership: Words, Laws, and Silence
Local leaders have tools. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. The city can lower speed limits to 20 mph. But the limit here is not yet 20. Cameras that catch speeders and red-light runners work, but only if the law lets them. The city has added some protected bike lanes and safer crossings, but not enough. The Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program lapsed. The silence is loud.
Even those sworn to protect are not immune. After a holiday party, an NYPD officer crashed her car. “I was driving. I was coming from the holiday party, I had three or four drinks. My life is over,” she said. The badge does not stop the bleeding.
What Now? No More Waiting
Every day without action is another day of risk. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand the 20 mph limit. Demand cameras that work all day, every day. Demand streets that do not kill. Do not wait for another name to become a number. Take action now.
