Bronx CB7: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

The Toll in Flesh and Steel

A man waits for help on the Major Deegan. His car is dead. A Mercedes slams him from behind. The driver runs. The man calls his friends. “I’ve been hit. I can’t breathe.” He dies before sunrise. “He called to get a jump, and after that, he got hit from behind, a hit-and-run.” The police shut down the highway. The killer walks away. No arrest. No answers. Police said Monday they were looking for a man who ran away after crashing his car into a disabled vehicle on the Major Deegan Expressway and killing its driver over the weekend.

In the last twelve months, 2 people died on these streets. 516 were hurt. Six were left with injuries that change a life.

The Numbers That Do Not Lie

Since 2022, eight people have died in Bronx CB7. 1,584 have been injured. The young are not spared. Two children have died.

Cars and SUVs do most of the damage. Vans, ambulances, sedans—each leaves its mark. Pedestrians are struck in crosswalks, at corners, on the way to work, on the way home. The numbers do not care about age or reason. They only count the bodies.

What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done

The city talks of Vision Zero. The state passed Sammy’s Law, letting New York City lower speed limits. But in Bronx CB7, the carnage goes on. There is no record of local leaders standing in the street, demanding change. No new law, no bold stand. The silence is heavy. The dead cannot speak for themselves.

What Comes Next: The Call That Cannot Wait

Speed kills. Delay kills. The law now allows the city to lower speed limits. The city must act. The council must act. The mayor must act. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras that never sleep. Demand streets that do not bleed.

Every day of delay is another chance for a family to lose someone they love. Do not wait for the next siren. Take action now.
