Queens Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas says she broke her arm after being hit by a car last week.
González-Rojas, a Democrat who represents parts of Astoria, Jackson Heights, and Corona, said on X Saturday that she was hit by a car in a crosswalk while walking on 35th Avenue in Jackson Heights on the evening of Jan. 4. She went to Elmhurst Hospital where she was treated for a broken arm and bruising.
The lawmaker, who has been a proponent of roadway redesigns and street safety legislation, said it was “weighing heavily on me” that while a collision left her injured, similar crashes leave people killed and families missing a loved one.
