Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Bronx?
Bronx Streets Bleed While City Sleeps
Bronx: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Toll in Flesh and Blood
In the Bronx, the street takes its due. Since January 2022, 138 people have died. More than 23,700 have been injured. The numbers do not bleed, but people do.
Just last month, a driver in a Ford Mustang failed a turn at East 149th and Courtlandt. He mounted the sidewalk, plowed into six pedestrians, then ran. All six went to the hospital. The car was left behind. The driver was not. Police are still looking for him. EMS called it minor. The sidewalk says otherwise.
A week later, a 79-year-old driver crashed into two cars and a pole. His passenger, Stella Nyarko-Dei, did not make it. Seven others were hurt. “The cause of the crash was not immediately known,” police said. The street keeps its secrets.
The System Moves, Slow as Asphalt
The city has promised change. $45 million is now set aside to fix the deadly intersection at East 177th, Devoe, and East Tremont. Seventeen years late. In that time, at least 246 crashes, 358 injuries, and two deaths. “We are excited to make progress on this key corridor,” said Ian Michaels, city spokesperson. The work will start later this year. The dead do not wait.
The Machines That Kill
SUVs and sedans do most of the harm. Since 2022, cars and trucks killed 51 people and injured over 3,600. Motorcycles and mopeds took another life, left over 170 hurt. Bikes, too, are in the count—no deaths, but 86 injured. The numbers are not just numbers. They are bodies on the street.
The Call
This is not fate. This is policy. Every day of delay is another day someone does not come home. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph limit. Demand the city finish what it starts. Do not wait for another name on the list.
