Car Accident on Slosson and Windsor Kills Woman and Leaves Child in Critical Condition in Staten Island

An accident between two SUV's on the Castleton corners (specifically at the intersection of Slosson and Windsor Road) has resulted in the death of a 59 year old woman and in a 3 year old boy being in critical condition.  The two, a grandmother and her grandson, were pedestrians who were injured after the two SUV's collided.

The accident occured yesterday morning near Casey Funeral Home and three schools.  This area is known to be a dangerous spot on Castleton.  In fact, in November 2009 a letter was addressed to the Office of the Staten Island Borough Commissioner, New York City Department of Transportation which stated that the area near Slosson and Victory Boulevard have been very dangerous and a problem for both drivers and pedestrians for sometime.  The letter also states there being problems on Slosson and Windsor due to the congestion of traffic and parked school buses and also the problem further down the street on Victory and Slosson due to the need of turn signals.
