Residential Area Crashes in Queens
Neighborhood intersections like 156th St and 46th Ave in Murray Hill can be deceptively dangerous. While traffic volumes may be lower than in commercial corridors, the close proximity of parked vehicles, narrow lanes, and frequent turns increase the likelihood of crashes—especially when visibility is reduced or drivers are distracted.
Crashes in these settings can result in a range of injuries, from minor whiplash and contusions to more serious conditions that require extended treatment. Timely intervention by EMS, like in Tuesday’s crash, plays a critical role in reducing long-term harm and facilitating recovery.
Queens’ residential streets see frequent interaction between drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, so extra vigilance is essential. Local traffic calming measures and driver education can also help minimize the risks at intersections like 156th and 46th.
