Bronx AD 85: Corners That Break, Hours That Kill
AD 85: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- A 17‑year‑old on a motorbike and a 14‑year‑old girl were thrown from the bike at Metcalf Ave and E 172nd St. The boy died at the hospital. The driver stayed. No arrests yet, police said (NYC Open Data; New York Post; ABC7).
- A 56‑year‑old man in a marked crosswalk at Westchester Ave and E 163rd St was hit by a northbound SUV. He died there. The SUV had Texas plates (NYC Open Data).
- On the Bruckner, a 32‑year‑old woman was struck at night. “Apparent death,” the record says. No other detail, just the end (NYC Open Data).
These are not outliers. They are the map.
The hours that hurt
Since 2022, this district logged 4,024 crashes, 16 deaths, and 2,308 injuries (NYC Open Data). Pedestrians carry the worst of it: 5 dead, 413 hurt. Cyclists: 160 hurt, 1 killed. Small numbers on a page. Large holes in a block.
The clock tells its own story. Injuries spike late day into night. From 5 pm to 10 pm, the tally climbs, peaking around the dinner hour and again at 9 pm. After midnight, the hurt keeps coming. At 3 am, three deaths. At 4 am, two more. The log is cold. The pattern is not (NYC Open Data).
The city tags causes. Most go to “other.” A box that swallows truth: 7 deaths and 665 injuries. “Vulnerable road user error” gets blame next. That is 3 deaths. “Unsafe speed” is marked in only six injuries. The paper trail is tidy. The street is not (NYC Open Data).
Three corners. One fix.
The same corridors keep breaking people:
- Westchester Avenue: 3 deaths, 117 injuries.
- Bruckner Expressway: 2 deaths, 162 injuries.
- Southern Boulevard: 1 death, 32 injuries.
Fix what we can touch now:
- Daylight the corners. Pull cars back from crosswalks. Let people see and be seen on Westchester and Southern.
- Give walkers the head start. Leading pedestrian intervals at the busy legs, hardened turns to slow the swing.
- Target the repeat blocks in the worst hours with consistent, publicized enforcement. Same places, same times. Every week.
These are small tools. They work where used. The absence shows.
Officials know what works — do they?
Albany extended protections around schools this June. The bill to fix school speed zones cleared both chambers on June 17. Local members voted yes (S 8344). Cameras help when they are on. They do not slow a car a block away.
Citywide fixes are on the table. Lower the default speed on our streets. Use the tools the city now has. Stop the worst repeat speeders with systems that hold the line on speed. The pattern in this district is clear: late‑day hurt, night deaths, the same corridors bleeding. Slower traffic saves lives. Fewer high‑risk drivers on the road saves lives. The numbers here do not argue back (NYC Open Data).
The toll of a year
Year to date, crashes are up. 745 crashes, 515 injured, already ahead of last year’s pace. One child is dead. Older New Yorkers are getting hurt more often. Serious injuries more than doubled over last year to date (NYC Open Data).
On Seward Avenue this spring, a stolen car hit parked cars. A man said, “It pushed me six feet. I hit my leg and my back.” Another voice: “I’m shocked. I’ll probably feel the pain later.” The driver ran but was caught, ABC7 reported (ABC7).
A mother waits at a corner that has already taken someone. The light changes. The street does not.
—
One action: tell City Hall to slow the city down. Ask for a 20 mph default and real tools for repeat speeders. Start here: Take Action.
