AD 79: Death on Webster, and the hours no one fixes
AD 79: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 26, 2025
Webster takes.
A black Mercedes hit Kelvin Mitchell, 43, just before 1 a.m. at Webster and East 169th. The car dragged him half a block. The driver ran. “That car deliberately went straight speeding, didn’t stop,” his mother said, before he died at Lincoln Hospital. ABC7.
A 65‑year‑old woman died four months earlier at Franklin and East 169th when a flatbed truck turned right. The record lists the pedestrian “killed.” NYC Open Data crash ID 4790193.
A 31‑year‑old woman with the walk signal was struck and killed at Washington and East 167th. Three SUVs in the report. The file says “Apparent Death.” NYC Open Data crash ID 4728165.
A young motorcyclist died at East 156th and St. Ann’s. The log shows “Traffic Control Disregarded” and “Unsafe Speed.” He was ejected. NYC Open Data crash ID 4747426.
Two passengers died on Claremont Parkway at Park Avenue after a night collision. The file marks “Traffic Control Disregarded.” NYC Open Data crash ID 4763624.
The numbers don’t blink. Since 2022, AD 79 counts five pedestrian deaths and two cyclist deaths, with 470 pedestrians and 220 cyclists injured. SUVs and sedans lead the harm to people on foot. Period stats from provided dataset; see linked open data above.
Bold type on the blotter: nights.
From midnight to 5 a.m., thirteen deaths in this district’s logs since 2022. At 1 a.m., at 5 a.m., at 9 p.m. The injury curve swells from late afternoon into late night; the worst hour for deaths is 9 p.m. Open data hourly distribution.
Contributing factors cut through the forms: “disregarded traffic control,” “unsafe speed,” and “other.” Speed shows up in the worst crashes, including the Webster hit‑and‑run and the East 156th fatal. Signals are ignored on Claremont Parkway. People die.
Webster Avenue is a wound line. It leads injuries in the district’s top sites. So does East 163rd. The Cross Bronx Expressway spawns injuries by the hundred. Top intersections.
Melrose saw six hurt at once when a car jumped the curb into a sidewalk shed. “Six people were injured when a car crashed into a sidewalk shed,” the station said. CBS New York.
A car wash worker died in Morrisania. Police later arrested a driver and filed manslaughter and hit‑and‑run charges. New York Post.
What breaks a family doesn’t end at the scene. “He was a phenomenal dad,” a friend said of Mitchell. ABC7.
Where the street fails
- Webster Avenue: repeated pedestrian deaths and injuries.
- East 163rd Street: dozens hurt.
- Claremont Parkway at Park Avenue: two dead in one crash.
- Cross Bronx Expressway: 155 injuries logged.
Peak threat runs late. Deaths stack at 9 p.m., and again after midnight. NYC Open Data.
The crash files name causes we can fix: unsafe speed; ignored signals; failure to yield. Small‑area analysis from provided dataset; see linked open data above.
Fix the corners and the turns
Basic work saves lives on these blocks:
- Daylight the corners on Webster, East 163rd, and Washington at East 167th. Harden left turns. Give leading pedestrian intervals.
- Protect the crossings near the Cross Bronx ramps; slow the slip lanes.
- Target the repeat hotspots at night with enforcement where the data flags them. NYC Open Data.
School‑zone speed cameras are now secured through 2030 after Albany passed a fix‑it bill. Your Senator voted yes on the extension. S 8344.
Slower city, fewer bodies
Lower speeds cut death. New York now has the power to set safer limits under Sammy’s Law. The city can act. Our Take Action guide shows how to push for a 20 mph default and to rein in the worst repeat speeders.
One more choice left for lawmakers: require speed limiters for drivers who rack up tickets and points. The Stop Super Speeders plan would force the car to obey the limit. Read more and call your reps in Take Action.
Lives end fast on Webster. The pattern is slow and long. It is written in the district’s files. Act now, before the next name is added.
Bold facts to hold: Five killed here since 2022. Nights are deadly. Webster leads the harm.
Take one step today. Push the city to slow the streets and stop repeat speeders. Start here: Take Action.
