Crosswalk at Leggett and Bruckner
Bronx: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 3, 2025
Just after midnight at Leggett Avenue and Bruckner Boulevard on Aug 26, 2025, a driver going north hit 32-year-old Dilmania Lopez de Rodriguez in the crosswalk and kept going, police said (ABC7; NY Daily News).

Speed keeps showing up
Through this year, the Bronx has logged 8,010 crashes, 5,576 injuries, and 22 deaths. Last year at this point it was 6,672 crashes, 4,325 injuries, and 24 deaths. Crashes are up 20.1%; injuries are up 28.9% (NYC Open Data).
On May 10, a 43-year-old man was killed at Webster Avenue and E 168 Street. Police marked “unsafe speed” on the crash report (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4811637). On Mar 29, a van making a right at University Avenue and W Kingsbridge Road struck a 65-year-old man crossing with the signal; police cited failure to yield (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4801942).
A small group of drivers does outsized harm. Analysis shows about 1.5% of motorists are tied to 21% of pedestrian deaths, with repeat camera violators far likelier to kill or seriously injure (Streetsblog). One Brooklyn driver amassed 29 camera tickets before running a red and killing a mother and two daughters this spring (NY Daily News).

Intersections that don’t forgive
At E 149 Street and Morris Avenue on Apr 2, three SUVs tangled and a 52-year-old man on foot died in the roadway (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4803347). On Apr 17, a 61-year-old man was crushed on Oak Point Avenue by a box truck starting from a parked position (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4807051). On May 24, a 76-year-old woman was killed on White Plains Road at E 216 Street; police recorded driver distraction (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4815461).
These are not rare. Since 2022, SUVs and cars account for the bulk of pedestrian harm in the borough, with trucks and buses adding to the toll (NYC Open Data).

Two levers on the table
New York City now has the power to lower residential speeds. Advocates are pushing a citywide 20 MPH default and tougher measures for the worst repeat offenders, including intelligent speed assistance for vehicles with heavy ticket histories (CrashCount: Take Action). Speed cameras reduce speeding where installed. “Speed cameras have cut speeding by over 60% in locations where installed,” the State Senate has said (NYS Senate).
In the Bronx, the electeds tied to this area are Council Member Eric Dinowitz, Assembly Member George Alvarez, and State Senator Jose Serrano. Our record does not show whether they sponsored or co-sponsored the speed-limiter bill discussed above. What gives?

What must change now
A woman died in the crosswalk at Leggett and Bruckner. The math keeps climbing behind her. Lower the limit. Stop the super speeders. If you live here, tell City Hall and Albany to use the tools they already have. Start here.
