White Plains and Tremont, 1 PM
AD 87: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 25, 2025
About 1 PM on Jul 21, 2025, at East Tremont Avenue and White Plains Road, a driver in a sedan turned right and hit a 24-year-old man who was crossing with the signal. Police recorded driver inattention at the scene. Source.
“This defendant was allegedly driving three times the speed limit when her SUV slammed into a livery cab.” Bronx DA Darcel Clark.
The count keeps rising
Since 2022, this district has logged 4,443 crashes, 2,734 injuries, 41 serious injuries, and 17 deaths. NYC Open Data.
This year to date: 806 crashes, 609 injured, 7 seriously hurt, 2 dead. Same period last year: 951 crashes, 576 injured, 16 seriously hurt, 4 dead. NYC Open Data.
People walking pay the price: 10 pedestrians killed and 404 injured since 2022. NYC Open Data.
Corners that don’t forgive
Cross Bronx Expressway tops the harm list in this area, with repeated injuries and deaths. East Tremont Avenue is on it too. NYC Open Data.
The city finally set aside $45 million to rebuild the East 177th/Devoe/East Tremont knot after years of crashes and two deaths. “We have now selected a contractor and expect to start work later this year,” a city spokesperson said. Patch.
At Wood Avenue and White Plains Road, police say a left-turning BMW SUV hit Wahid Miah, 75, as he walked with the right of way. Charges came four months later. A neighbor said, “The accident is so terrible.” NY Daily News.
Night falls, the hurt deepens
Fatal crashes cluster after dark here. The hours around 9 PM and 11 PM show the heaviest death counts, with multiple killings recorded at those times. NYC Open Data.
Police reports cite failures we know: failure to yield on turns, driver inattention, and unsafe speed. The paperwork repeats. The bodies change. NYC Open Data.
What leaders have done — and what’s still on the table
Albany extended and cleaned up school speed zone laws this June; Assembly Member Karines Reyes voted yes. S 8344.
Two Assembly bills that matter here are moving: A 2299 would require speed limiters after repeated violations, and A 5440 would hold vehicle owners liable for camera-caught signal running. Reyes is a co-sponsor on both. A 2299, A 5440.
The city has committed to fix one deadly knot on East Tremont. Seventeen years late. The rest of the map still waits. Patch.
Fix the turns. Slow the cars. Stop the repeats.
Local steps that save lives on these blocks:
- Harden left turns and add daylighting at East Tremont, White Plains, and Castle Hill to force slow, visible turns and protect the crosswalks. NYC Open Data.
- Target night enforcement at repeat hotspots where deaths stack up after 9 PM. NYC Open Data.
- Keep the East 177th/Devoe/Tremont rebuild on schedule and expand that design where crashes recur. Patch.
Citywide, the tools are ready: lower default speeds and force chronic speeders to obey with technology. The Legislature has the bills. The city has the pen.
One corner at a time, or another name to add. Ask your officials to act. Start here.
