Two hits in four days. One borough’s tally keeps climbing.
Bronx: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
Just after 2 AM on Mosholu Parkway, Sep 7, a driver in a 2024 Toyota going straight hit and killed a 30‑year‑old man walking in the roadway. Police recorded driver distraction. NYC Open Data.
This Month
- Sep 7: Mosholu Parkway — a driver in a sedan going straight hit and killed a man walking in the roadway; police logged distraction by the driver. NYC Open Data
- Sep 3: E 167 St at River Ave — the driver of a Lexus SUV turned right and hit a 47‑year‑old man crossing with the signal; police recorded failure to yield and distraction. NYC Open Data
The count does not let up
Since Jan 1, 2022, the Bronx has recorded 181 people killed and 30,995 injured in reported traffic crashes. NYC Open Data.
In the past 12 months, there were 12,042 crashes in the borough, leaving 8,333 injured and 41 dead. NYC Open Data.
Year to date, crashes are down compared to the same point last year — 8,517 vs. 9,349 — but deaths are still 24. Fewer wrecks, same grief. NYC Open Data.
Who pays in the crosswalk
Police records show pedestrians keep getting hit by turning drivers. On Mar 29 at W Kingsbridge Rd and University Ave, a van driver turned right and killed a 65‑year‑old man who was crossing with the signal. NYC Open Data.
On Feb 3 at Wood Ave and White Plains Rd, a BMW SUV driver turning left killed a 75‑year‑old man who was crossing with the signal. NYC Open Data.
Trucks do it too. On Apr 17 at Oak Point Ave and Coster St, the driver of a box truck starting from a parking position hit and killed a 61‑year‑old man in the roadway. NYC Open Data.
Speeds and repeat harm
Speed shows up in the fatal record. On May 10 at Webster Ave and E 168 St, police listed unsafe speed after a driver in a Mercedes sedan going straight killed a 43‑year‑old man at the intersection. NYC Open Data.
There is a fix on the table. New York City can lower default speeds under Sammy’s Law. The state’s Stop Super Speeders Act would force habitual speeders to install devices that keep them from blowing the limit. Both are ready; both would spare people walking. /take_action/.
As Attorney General Letitia James said about another lethal kind of driving, “the evidence is clear: police vehicle pursuits and high-speed car chases can be dangerous and even fatal, and it is time for a change.” Times Union.
Who will act here
This is the Bronx. The local officials are Council Member Eric Dinowitz, Assembly Member George Alvarez, and State Senator Jose Serrano. The record here does not show whether they have sponsored the Stop Super Speeders bill. The bill exists. The deaths are here. What gives? /take_action/.
Lower speeds citywide. Stop the repeat speeders. Do it before the next 2 AM call. /take_action/.
