Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Bronx CB6?
Bronx Streets Bleed—City Stalls. Who Pays?
Bronx CB6: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 31, 2025
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Nine dead. Fifteen left with wounds that will not heal. In the last three and a half years, Bronx CB6 has seen 3,058 crashes. 1,867 people hurt. The youngest, the oldest, the ones just trying to cross the street. No one is spared. NYC Open Data
Recent Crashes, Fresh Scars
Just weeks ago, a 79-year-old driver crashed into two cars and a pole. His passenger, Stella Nyarko-Dei, died. Seven others were hurt. Police said, “The cause of the crash was not immediately known.” NY Daily News. No arrests. No answers. The street stays the same.
Last summer, a driver ran over Jose Galan at a Bronx gas station. She dragged him 950 feet. She stopped, looked under her car, then drove away. The Bronx DA called it “egregious and show[ing] a lack of humanity.” NY Daily News. Galan’s daughter wrote, “I carry you in my heart today and always Dad. I love you and hope that this allows your spirit to rest in peace.”
Leadership: Promises and Delays
Seventeen years. That’s how long it took the city to fund fixes for the deadly intersection at East 177th, Devoe, and East Tremont. Two deaths, 358 injuries, 246 crashes. The city now promises new sidewalks, shorter crossings, and better signals. “We are excited to make progress on this key corridor, which will make incredible pedestrian and vehicular safety improvements,” said a city official. Patch. But the work has not started. The danger remains.
Local lawmakers have backed bills to curb repeat speeders and extend school speed zones. But the streets are still fast, and the crossings are still long. The most vulnerable—kids, elders, people on foot—pay the price.
Call to Action: Make Them Hear You
No more waiting. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to fix the streets, slow the cars, and end the bloodshed. Every day of delay is another life at risk.
