Crosswalk at Bruckner and Leggett. A life ends. The driver keeps going.
Bronx CB2: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 3, 2025
Just after midnight at Bruckner Boulevard and Leggett Avenue, a driver hit 32‑year‑old Dilmania Lopez de Rodriguez in the crosswalk and fled, police said. She was pronounced dead at Lincoln Hospital. ABC7, NY Daily News, NYC Open Data.
She is one of 12 people killed on Bronx Community Board 2 streets since Jan 1, 2022. City crash data show 2,932 crashes and 1,659 injuries in that span. NYC Open Data.
Nights are long here
Deaths stack up after dark. The 9 PM hour alone saw 144 injuries and five serious injuries over the period. Early mornings are bad too: 6–7 AM brought 2 deaths and 41 injuries; 7–8 AM brought 1 death and 67 injuries. NYC Open Data.
This year is worse than last. Year‑to‑date, crashes are up 14.8%, injuries up 7.7%, and deaths up 200% against the same point last year. Serious injuries climbed from 1 to 7. NYC Open Data.
Where the street bleeds
The harm clusters on the big roads. Bruckner Boulevard logged 271 injuries; Westchester Avenue saw 52 injuries and 2 deaths; the Bruckner Expressway corridor counted 96 injuries and 1 death. NYC Open Data.
Trucks kill here. A dump truck turning right on Tiffany Street crushed a 29‑year‑old cyclist on Aug 9, 2023. A box truck starting from a parking spot on Oak Point Avenue killed a 61‑year‑old man on Apr 17, 2025. Crash 4652722, Crash 4807051.
Power and delay
Bronx leaders demanded accountability. “There is no borough commissioner in the borough of the Bronx… Please speed it up,” Council Member Rafael Salamanca Jr. told DOT at a 2023 hearing. Streetsblog NYC.
They also vowed leverage. “It gets to a point where you have to use your power of voting to get the attention of the city,” Salamanca said in 2024 on regulating last‑mile warehouses that flood streets with trucks. Gothamist.
State action is moving on the worst drivers. In 2025, State Senator Jose Serrano co‑sponsored and voted yes on S 4045, which would require speed‑limiting devices for repeat offenders; Senator Luis Sepúlveda also co‑sponsored and voted yes. Assembly Member Amanda Septimo co‑sponsored the Assembly version A 2299. Open States.
Fix what we can see
Start where the bodies fall. Harden turns and add daylighting at Bruckner Boulevard and Leggett Avenue. Give leading pedestrian intervals on Westchester Avenue and Southern Boulevard. Set truck‑safe routing and slower turns at Oak Point and Tiffany.
The pattern is clear. The next steps are, too: slow the cars and stop the repeat speeders. City lawmakers can lower speeds; Albany can rein in the worst drivers. The street at Bruckner and Leggett will still be there tomorrow. We decide who survives it.
Take one step now. Ask your officials to act on slower speeds and speed limiters: Take action.

Commissioner Clears Officer In Bronx Killing▸Jul 3 - An officer shot an unarmed man during a Bronx traffic stop. The NYPD judge called for firing. The commissioner overruled. The man’s family called it outrage. The system shielded the shooter.
Gothamist (2025-07-03) reports NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch overruled a departmental judge and cleared Lt. Jonathan Rivera, who fatally shot Allan Feliz, unarmed, during a 2019 Bronx traffic stop. Judge Maldonado found Rivera's use of deadly force unjustified, writing it 'requires more than the mere possibility of danger.' Tisch disagreed, citing a 'split-second decision' and risk to another officer. The stop began over a seatbelt. Feliz tried to flee; Rivera fired once, killing him. Tisch's decision echoes the state attorney general, who declined charges. The case highlights the commissioner's power over discipline and ongoing debate about police accountability.
