Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Soundview-Bruckner-Bronx River?
Soundview–Bruckner–Bronx River: The Road Keeps Taking
Soundview-Bruckner-Bronx River: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 16, 2025
Two riders killed on 2025-08-11
On 2025-08-11 two men riding mopeds were thrown from their vehicles and died in a multi‑vehicle crash on the Bronx River Parkway. “Two men were killed in a seven‑vehicle crash,” reported ABC7 (https://abc7ny.com/post/2-killed-7-vehicle-crash-southbound-bronx-river-parkway-driver-custody/17499746/). Police arrested a 21‑year‑old and charged him with vehicular manslaughter and DWI, Gothamist reported (https://gothamist.com/news/man-21-charged-with-vehicular-manslaughter-dwi-in-bronx-highway-crash-that-killed-2). A sister asked, “He’s just walking freely? Two people were killed. He was drunk,” the Daily News reported (https://www.nydailynews.com/2025/08/12/victims-family-rages-at-driver-in-bronx-parkway-crash-that-killed-2-moped-riders/).
This is not a fluke. In the last 12 months in Soundview‑Bruckner‑Bronx River there were 4 deaths and 342 injuries, including 11 serious injuries (NYC Open Data: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95). Since 2022 the neighborhood toll is 12 dead, 1,155 injured and 22 seriously hurt. Deaths this year are up 200% over last year’s pace (Open Data).
Where the streets break
Hotspots keep repeating. Westchester Avenue and the Cross Bronx Expressway show the worst harm here. Crashes cluster late at night and in afternoon peaks; the data flags nighttime conditions and repeat hotspots. Contributing factors include unsafe speed, alcohol involvement, and driver inattention/distraction.
Fixes that work and can be done now: daylighting corners and adding leading pedestrian intervals on Westchester Avenue; hardening turns and tightening ramp geometry near Cross Bronx ramps; improving lighting on known danger blocks; and running targeted night enforcement against speeding and impaired driving.
Leaders: small steps, not enough
State Senators Nathalia Fernández and Luis Sepúlveda voted yes in committee on S4045, the bill to require intelligent speed‑assistance devices for repeat violators (https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S4045). That’s progress. But the city must use its power to lower local speed limits now, and Albany must force chronic speeders to slow down.
Cars and SUVs do the most harm. Recent rollups show SUVs and cars account for the bulk of pedestrian injuries and deaths in the area (Open Data).
What must happen now
- Lower NYC’s default speed limit on local streets to 20 mph.
- Pass S4045 to require intelligent speed‑assistance devices for habitual violators.
- Flood identified hotspots with daylighting, LPIs, hardened turns, better lighting, and targeted night enforcement at Westchester Ave and Cross Bronx ramps.
Demand these fixes from your council member and state senator. The data is clear. The fixes are proven. Waiting costs lives (Open Data: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).
