Where did these crashes happen?

This report covers New York State Senate District 13 (Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, North Corona, Elmhurst, and Corona). Recent incidents include 84th St at 35th Ave and 74th St at 31st Ave, both in Queens, within SD 13 ([NYC Open Data](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95)).

How many people have been hurt or killed here since 2022?

From Jan 1, 2022 to Sep 18, 2025, SD 13 recorded 9,672 crashes, 5,094 injuries, 53 serious injuries, and 29 deaths, based on CrashCount’s analysis of NYC’s collision datasets ([NYC Open Data](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95)).

What policies can cut the risk right now?

Two levers are on the table: (1) New York City lowering its default residential speed limit, and (2) Albany passing S 4045 to require speed limiters for repeat speeders. Sen. Jessica Ramos co‑sponsored S 4045 and voted yes in committee on May 20, 2025; she was later excused on a June 12 vote ([Open States](https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S4045)).

State Sen. Jessica Ramos represents SD 13. Assembly Member Jessica González‑Rojas represents AD 34, which overlaps SD 13. Council Member Francisco P. Moya represents Council District 21, which overlaps SD 13. Positions listed here reflect sources cited in this article.
