Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Bronx CB4?

Hit, Run, Forgotten: Bronx Streets Still Kill with Impunity

Hit, Run, Forgotten: Bronx Streets Still Kill with Impunity

Bronx CB4: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 8, 2025

Death in the Night, Silence in the Day

Just last Wednesday, a woman tried to cross West 174th Street in Morris Heights. An SUV turned into a driveway, struck her, and kept going. She died at St. Barnabas Hospital. The driver vanished. Police are still searching. The news was blunt: “A 44-year-old woman was fatally mowed down by a reckless driver… before zooming off” reported the New York Post.

This is not rare. In the last 12 months, 690 people were injured and 1 killed in traffic crashes in Bronx CB4. Four suffered serious injuries. Most were walking. Most never saw it coming.

The Numbers Do Not Lie

From 2022 to now, over 2,100 people have been hurt and 10 killed in this district. The dead include children, elders, cyclists, and pedestrians. The killers are cars, SUVs, trucks, and the drivers who flee. SUVs alone caused 3 deaths and 3 serious injuries to pedestrians. Sedans killed another. The numbers are not just numbers. They are lives cut short, families left waiting for someone who will not come home.

Leaders Move—But Not Fast Enough

Local politicians have taken some steps. Senator Serrano voted yes on a bill to require speed limiters for repeat speeders. It is a start. But the streets do not wait for committee votes. The woman who died last week did not get a vote. The driver who killed her did not face a speed limiter.

The police say, “Police are still searching for the runaway driver. No arrests have been made” according to the New York Post. The silence after the crash is as loud as the engine that sped away.

What Now? Demand More

This is not fate. This is policy. Every day leaders delay, another family risks the knock at the door. Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed limiters for repeat offenders. Demand streets that put people first. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
