Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Borough Park?
Borough Park Bleeds While Leaders Look Away
Borough Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
The Toll in Borough Park
The streets do not forgive. Since 2022, nine people have died in Borough Park traffic crashes. Five more suffered serious injuries. In the last twelve months alone, 278 people were hurt—children, elders, neighbors. No one is spared. The numbers do not bleed, but the people do.
A nine-year-old struck crossing 54th Street. A cyclist killed by a bus on Fort Hamilton Parkway. A 68-year-old woman, dead at the intersection of Webster and McDonald. The pattern is steady. The pain is not.
Who Pays the Price
SUVs and cars do most of the damage. Five deaths and over 200 injuries come from these machines. Trucks and buses crush bodies too—one dead, dozens more hurt. Bikes and mopeds are not blameless, but the weight of harm falls from above. The street is not level.
What Leaders Do—And Don’t
Local leaders have not done enough. Assembly Member Simcha Eichenstein voted against safer school speed zones—twice. He also opposed the renewal of the city’s speed camera program, a proven tool to slow drivers and save lives. Council Member Kalman Yeger has spoken out against protected bike lanes and greenway plans, calling for more enforcement instead of safer streets.
The silence is loud. The votes are clear. Children and elders pay the price.
The Words That Remain
“It’s devastating. It’s affecting everyone in our family, especially (Ruiz’s) mom. Maddy was her only daughter,” said Ruiz’s sister-in-law.
“I have no idea why he was doing donuts in the parking lot,” said Griselda Caraballo.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy.
Call your council member. Call your assembly member. Tell them: enough. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras at every school. Demand streets that put people first. Every day of delay is another life at risk.
