Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Concourse-Concourse Village?
Concourse Bleeds While City Sleeps—Lower the Speed, Save a Life
Concourse-Concourse Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Do Not Lie
Five dead. Nine hundred nineteen injured. That is the toll of traffic violence in Concourse-Concourse Village since 2022. The bodies are not numbers. They are neighbors, children, elders. The pain does not end when the sirens fade. See the NYC Open Data.
No one is spared. In the last year alone, 268 people were hurt. One lost their life. Children, teens, the old—all struck down. Cars and SUVs do most of the damage. They kill. They maim. They keep coming.
The Pattern Is Relentless
The deaths do not come all at once. They come in slow motion. A 75-year-old woman, crossing with the light, killed by a sedan. A man in his seventies, crushed by an SUV. A pedestrian on the Major Deegan, struck and left dead. The pattern repeats. The street is a wound that never heals.
Leadership: Progress and Silence
What have leaders done? The city talks of Vision Zero. They promise safer streets, lower speed limits, more cameras. But in this district, the blood still runs. The council and the mayor have the power to lower the speed limit to 20 mph. They have not done it. The state lets speed cameras go dark unless Albany acts. The silence is loud. The delay is deadly.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. Every crash is preventable. Every injury is a failure of will. The city can act. The council can vote. The mayor can sign. Residents can demand more. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to lower the speed. Tell them to keep the cameras on. Do not wait for another name on the list.
Act now. Demand action. Do not let the next victim be someone you love.

A teenager fell from a Bronx subway train. He struck the track bed. The train hit him. His head and wrist were injured. He now lies in critical condition. The city’s system failed to keep him safe.
CBS New York reported on June 17, 2025, that a teenager was critically injured after falling from a 5 train at Baychester Avenue station in the Bronx. Police said the victim, aged 14 to 16, suffered head and wrist injuries after making contact with the train. The incident occurred just after 4 p.m. as the train approached the northbound platform. The MTA recently launched a campaign called 'Ride Inside, Stay Alive' and is testing barriers between subway cars to deter such incidents. According to the NYPD, at least one person has died from subway surfing this year; in 2024, six died, 15 were injured, and 229 were arrested. No driver error was involved, but the event highlights ongoing risks and the need for systemic safety improvements.
