Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Bronx CB12?
No More Blood for Broken Streets: Demand Safety Now
Bronx CB12: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Flesh and Blood
A woman tried to cross White Plains Road at night. She was 78. An SUV hit her. She died at Jacobi. The driver stayed. No charges. The street stayed the same. The victim was crossing White Plains Road at E. 216th St. in Williamsbridge when a 56-year-old woman driving north in a 2024 Toyota RAV4 hit her at about 10:20 p.m. Saturday, cops said.
A coach stood outside his home on Givan Avenue. A BMW and a pickup collided. The BMW spun, hit parked cars, hit the coach. He died. His mother said, “These arrests cannot bring back my child. Still, something has to be done.”
In the last year, five people died on these streets. Seven hundred were hurt. Nine were left with injuries that change a life.
Who Pays the Price
Older New Yorkers and the young take the brunt. In the past 12 months, three people over 55 died. Sixty-one children were hurt. The dead are not numbers. They are mothers, fathers, neighbors, children. The street does not care. The cars do not stop.
SUVs and sedans do most of the harm. SUVs killed three. Cars and SUVs together left hundreds bleeding. Trucks, bikes, and mopeds add to the toll, but the weight of steel is what crushes bones and ends breath.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Council Member Kevin Riley has co-sponsored bills for speed humps near parks, scramble crosswalks, and better lighting. He voted to end jaywalking tickets and back solar crosswalks. But the deaths keep coming. No law has slowed the cars on White Plains Road. No new design has stopped the chain-reaction crashes on Givan Avenue.
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie helped expand red light cameras, but blocked the city from lowering speed limits for years. Only after years of delay did Albany pass Sammy’s Law. The streets waited. People died.
The Next Step Is Yours
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand street redesigns that protect people, not just cars. Join Transportation Alternatives or Families for Safe Streets. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. Act now.
