Pierre Angelo Rodriguez, 34, had taken off from his job as a FedEx driver and spent the day in Queens. Hurrying to catch one of the night’s last buses to Levittown, Rodriguez crossed West Columbia Street near Main Street.— mid-block, with no crosswalk or signal. A westbound NICE bus struck him. The 60,000-population village had three of the Island’s 11 most dangerous neighborhoods, or census tracts, to walk or bike when measured by crashes that caused serious injury or death to a person not inside a vehicle. Across Hempstead, 86 pedestrians and cyclists were killed or seriously injured over the five-year span, a rate of approximately one serious crash every three weeks, the data showed. The injury and death totals are more than double that of other hotspots like North Amityville, Baldwin and Brentwood. Why are so many people getting hit there?
