Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Bronx CB5?
Hit-and-Run Is Policy: Bronx Streets Still Kill with City Hall’s Blessing
Bronx CB5: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 8, 2025
Death on West 174th Street
Just last Wednesday night, a 44-year-old woman was crossing West 174th Street at Macombs Road. An SUV turned into a driveway and struck her. The driver did not stop. She died at St. Barnabas Hospital. Police are still searching for the person who left her in the street. Police described how a 44-year-old woman was fatally mowed down by a reckless driver who struck her while turning into a Bronx driveway before zooming off. Police said they’re looking for the driver of a vehicle who struck and killed a woman as she crossed a Bronx street late Wednesday night and then fled the scene.
This is not rare. It is routine. In the past 12 months, Bronx CB5 saw 827 crashes, 633 injuries, and 8 people left with life-altering wounds. Six have died since 2022. Most were walking. Most never saw it coming.
The Numbers Behind the Blood
Cars and SUVs did the most harm. Sedans alone killed two and injured over 100 pedestrians. SUVs and trucks followed close behind, according to NYC Open Data.
Children are not spared. In the last year, 52 people under 18 were hurt. One moment on the sidewalk, the next in an ambulance.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Some leaders have moved. Most have not moved fast enough. Assembly Member Yudelka Tapia and State Senator Gustavo Rivera both voted to extend school speed zones and co-sponsored bills to force repeat speeders to install speed-limiting devices. But the city still drags its feet on lowering the default speed limit to 20 mph. The council could act today. They have not.
The carnage continues. The law lets the city slow the streets. The city waits. Each day of delay is another family broken.
What You Can Do
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand action against repeat speeders. Do not wait for another body in the road. The city will not move unless you make them.

Its title: “A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to pedestrian crossing guidelines and right of way.” Sponsored by Council Member Tiffany Cabán and co-sponsored by Narcisse, Won, Hanif, Hudson, and Restler, the law lets pedestrians cross streets anywhere, even against signals. No more tickets for crossing outside crosswalks. The Department of Transportation must educate all street users on new rights and responsibilities. The law removes a tool police used to target walkers. It shifts blame from people on foot to the system and those behind the wheel.
