Senator Stavisky Responds To Fatal Casino Bus Crash
November 16, 2015
Flushing, NY—Senator Toby Ann Stavisky (D-Flushing) issued the following statement regarding last night’s accident involving a casino bus on Main Street and Kissena Boulevard. The accident resulted in the death of a female pedestrian.
“Too many times I find myself offering condolences to the family of a victim who was fatally struck by a motor vehicle. But more than that, it is incredibly frustrating,” Senator Toby Ann Stavisky said. “Casino buses provide a service to many people in my district and around the city, but at certain intersections, they have become less of a convenience and more of a plague. With automobile, pedestrian commercial and public transportation traffic already creating so much congestion, having frequent stops for casino buses makes for even less of a safe environment. We must better regulate where these buses stop and make pedestrian safety a priority.”
