Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in CB 201?

Preventable Speeding in CB 201 School Zones

(since 2022)
Crosswalk, noon, E 149th and Third

Crosswalk, noon, E 149th and Third

Bronx CB1: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 8, 2025

Just after noon at E 149th Street and Third Avenue, a 68‑year‑old in the crosswalk went down when the driver of a box truck hit him. He died hours later, police said. NYC crash data and press reports tell the same story.

This Week

  • Oct 24: a driver hit a girl on Westchester Avenue; she was hurt. NYC Open Data
  • Oct 20: a 16‑year‑old riding a bike was hit by an SUV driver at Grand Concourse and E 149th; he was hurt. NYC Open Data
  • Oct 8: a driver hit a 48‑year‑old woman crossing near E 151st; she was hurt. NYC Open Data

E 149th keeps taking

The E 149th corridor is a main vein through Bronx CB1. It is also a record of harm. A taxi driver killed a 61‑year‑old man crossing East 149th late at night on Jun 25, 2024, police records show. NYC Open Data

On Feb 25, 2025, a bus driver making a left turn at E 149th and Brook struck and killed a 57‑year‑old on an e‑bike. NYC Open Data

On Apr 2, 2025, three SUV drivers collided on E 149th near Morris; a 52‑year‑old man in the roadway was killed. NYC Open Data

That makes at least four dead on these streets since 2024, including the man hit by the truck at E 149th and Third, reported by the Daily News.

Nights are deadly

The body count climbs after dark. Deaths stack up in the evening and night hours, peaking around 7–10 PM and again at 10 PM, according to NYC crash records for this community board. NYC Open Data

The map points to repeat trouble spots: Bruckner Boulevard, the Major Deegan, 3rd Avenue, and East 149th Street show the highest mix of deaths and severe injuries here. NYC Open Data

Name the fixes and do them

Simple steps would cut the harm. Daylight corners so drivers can see people before they turn. Put hardened turns and leading pedestrian intervals at East 149th, 3rd Avenue, and other hot corners. Tighten left turns on truck routes and keep heavy vehicles out of crosswalks with concrete, not paint. Aim enforcement and cameras where the night injuries pile up. These recommendations follow the patterns above. NYC Open Data

Albany has a tool to stop repeat speeders

The legislature is weighing a way to force the worst drivers to slow down. The Stop Super Speeders Act would require drivers with repeat offenses to install speed limiters. State Senator Jose Serrano co‑sponsored the Senate bill and voted yes in committee (S 4045). Assembly Member Amanda Septimo co‑sponsors the Assembly version (A 2299). The Assembly can pass it. Council Member Diana Ayala has backed daylighting legislation locally, but the crashes keep coming. The street tells us what still needs doing.

What now

E 149th and Third. East 149th and Brook. East 157th and Melrose. The names repeat. The law to slow repeat speeders is on the table. The design fixes are standard. The deaths are not. Act here, and now. Take action.
