Police are investigating after a teenage girl was killed and another was injured after being hit by a car near a Queens intersection Monday morning. NY1's Tara Lynn Wagner filed the following report.

It's a tragic story, and one that unfortunately is not the first of its kind at what residents describe as a dangerous intersection.

"A lot of people get hit here. A lot of people die here on the corner," said Frank Kleineisel, an Ozone Park resident. "There's no crossing guard for the kids or nothing like that."

Two teenage girls were on their way to school just before 7 a.m. Monday when they were struck by a green sedan on Crossbay Blvd.  

Jazmine Marin, 13, suffered severe head trauma. She was pronounced dead at Jamaica Medical Center.

A family friend tells us her father is a neighborhood mechanic who lost his wife three years ago. Jazmine was his only child.

"Nice girl. Friendly. Quiet. She'll play with my kids whenever she was allowed," said one neighbor.

"I feel so sad, man. I feel so bad, I got two daughters. Kids is great. I love kids. I am so sorry to hear what happened, man," said Amar Goberbhan, the victim's neighbor.

The other victim, also 13 years old, suffered a leg injury. She was in stable condition.

The driver, a 55-year-old man, stayed on the scene. He was not immediately ticketed.

Residents say part of the problem is a confusing traffic pattern that rarely calls for cars going in both directions to stop completely. 

"You see how they're stopped and they're going still? That doesn't make sense to me," said Thomas Colucciello, an Ozone Park resident. "It can confuse people, especially young children that are just learning how to cross their streets.

A pedestrian was killed at this same spot in 2012, and another was hurt two years later, prompting the city to paint the word "Look" in the crosswalk.

"I don't know what that does, but..." said one resident.

Locals feel a lot more needs to be done to protect children, and all pedestrians, crossing this six-lane boulevard.

"We need more signage in this area and additional crossing guards," said Stacey Pheffer Amato, a candidate for state Assembly. "This is a major intersection."

Sources say plans are being made to provide crisis counseling at the victim's school, Robert H. Goddard middle and high school, just a block away from where the accident occurred. 

A spokesperson for the DOT tells us they are planning to study the intersection for further enhancements.
