Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Bronx CB3?

Bronx Streets Run Red—How Many More Will Die Before City Acts?

Bronx Streets Run Red—How Many More Will Die Before City Acts?

Bronx CB3: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025

The Blood on the Asphalt

Twelve dead. Thirty seriously hurt. That is the count in Bronx CB3 since 2022. The numbers do not tell you about the bodies in the street, the sirens at dawn, the families waiting in hospital halls. They do not tell you about the man dragged under a car for 950 feet, or the worker pinned between two vehicles and left to die. But the numbers do not lie. The disaster is slow, but it does not stop.

Just last month, a driver in Morrisania struck and killed a car wash worker, then ran. It took two years to make an arrest. Police said, “She was charged with manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and leaving the scene of an accident” police said.

In October, a driver ran over a man at a Bronx gas station, dragged him nearly a thousand feet, then checked under the car and drove away. The Bronx DA called it “egregious and show[ing] a lack of humanity” the Bronx DA called it.

The Machines That Kill

Cars and SUVs do most of the damage. Since 2022, they have killed three, seriously hurt four, and injured 292 people walking or biking here. Trucks and buses have left four with grave injuries. Motorcycles and mopeds have added more blood to the street. No one is safe—not the old, not the young. Children under 18 have been injured 185 times.

Leadership: Votes, Delays, and Missed Chances

Local leaders have taken some steps. State Senator Sepúlveda voted yes on bills to curb repeat speeders and extend school speed zones. But the carnage continues. The city took seventeen years to fund a fix for one deadly intersection. In that time, two died and 358 were hurt. “We are excited to make progress on this key corridor,” a city official said, but the work is only just beginning.

The Call

This is not fate. This is policy. Every day of delay is another day of blood. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement against repeat offenders. Demand streets where a child can cross without fear. Do not wait for another body in the road.
