Source: NYPD, Motor Vehicle Collisions – Crashes (h9gi-nx95), NYC Open Data; NYC DOT, Queens Boulevard redesign release (Nov 12, 2024)
Note: Injuries fell from 507 in 2013 to 293 in 2025; DOT's before/after for the redesigned sections reports 35% fewer injuries and 68% fewer deaths.
Method: Crashes whose on-street, cross-street or off-street name is a Queens Boulevard spelling, counted once each. Crashes with no street name are not counted; they are concentrated in 2013–2015, so earlier years are likely undercounted. DOT’s figures cover only the sections from Skillman Avenue to Jamaica Avenue.
