4 hurt when NYC taxi crashes on West 42nd Street
A New York City taxi cab crashed into a pole on West 42nd Street Thursday afternoon.
So was it βmedical episodeβ βlost controlβ βpossible mechanical failureβ βswerved to avoid another vehicleβ or some other excuse?
Glad no pedestrians were killed or maimed or had their legs torn off.
Another day on Eric Adamsβ streets.

Sister of girl killed while subway surfing in Brooklyn describes her loss: 'She was everything'
An 11-year-old girl is hoping to send an urgent message to young children like her, after her sister and another girl were tragically killed while subway surfing in Brooklyn over the weekend.
Really the best idea for the news to shove a camera in this poor kidβs face and listen to her say things like βthe last day my sister was alive she was mad at me and so we didnβt speak, and this was Godβs plan because he needed her?β

Hit-and-run in Brooklyn kills 75-year-old grandmother. Here's more on the SUV police are looking for.
Police say Judith Byron died after the SUV blew through a red light while she was in the crosswalk at Seventh and 41st Street in Sunset Park on Saturday night.
Another family devastated by the actions of a reckless driver on streets that are hostile to pedestrians, especially the elderly. Not a SINGLE word from any NYC leader. Youβll hear a ton about βe-bikesβ but nothing about SUVs. I am so sorry for this familyβs loss.

Increase accountability for e-bike and moped violations.
Daily reminder that Andrew Cuomo does not have a transportation plan whatsoever. Hereβs his only mention of street safety on his ChatGPT-written policy pages. A car driver kills a New Yorker every week, if not every day here, mostly in crosswalks:

Police searching for hit-and-run driver after 75-year-old woman struck and killed in Sunset Park
The deadly collision happened just after 9:30 p.m. on Saturday near 41st Street and Seventh Avenue in Sunset Park.
Another driver has killed a person in NYC. The current mayoral administration has done NOTHING to protect residents from reckless SUV drivers. I wonder how many repeat red light running and speeding offenses this driver has on his record.

3 killed in single-car crash on Staten Island Expressway
The accident happened at 4:19 a.m. near Victory Boulevard and Staten Island Expressway.
Three men in their 20s, dead in a flash. Driver βlost controlβ and hit a guardrail at 4am. Nothing short of a massacre, and it wonβt make headlines or feed into a narrative about how dangerous this mode of transportation is.

Ben Chou saying only 51 units built
The Queens Post asked District 19 CC candidates about affordable housing, and itβs clear that Vickie Paladino opposes building ANY affordable housing in her district. She is anti-housing and opposes building new apartments. Ben Chou is pro-housing. Vote Ben Chou.

District 30 is comprised of one of the most progressive pockets in Queens, but also some of the most conservative, miserly, aggrieved white homeowner MAGA NIMBYs in the city. What a shame that Holden will be replaced by another miserable clone.

3 remain hospitalized after deadly crash in North Bergen, New Jersey, officials say
Two drivers were killed and four passengers were injured in the collision on Tonnelle Avenue.
So, a police lieutenant decided to chase a driver who committed a traffic violation; he then crashed into another car, killing its 24 year old driver who had nothing to do with it. The first driver also died. In other words, a cop got two people killed over a traffic stop.

Every intersection should have cameras that ticket drivers for βblocking the boxβ. Look at this absurdity. Doesnβt matter if the lights are red or green. Total free-for-all, do whatever you want, just days after a woman was gruesomely killed by a driver in similar gridlock.
