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)).

What Crashes Cost Here Loading estimate...

Loading crash cost estimate...

The three blocks below show direct costs, other harm, and the total for crashes with injuries, crashes without injuries, and all crashes together.

Loading estimate...

How we calculate this

We calculate these costs using a method developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA. It gives one set of costs for crashes with injuries and another for crashes with no reported injuries.

Crashes with injuries cost much more because the method includes things like lost work, medical care, and long-term harm. NHTSA says crash costs include "lost productivity, medical, legal and court costs, emergency service, insurance administration, congestion, property damage, and workplace losses."

These are estimates, not bills. "Other harm" is the part of the broader estimate that goes beyond direct bills and insurance claims. It captures pain, disability, and lost quality of life.
