No More Hit-and-Run: Blood on Bronx Streets, Silence in City Hall
Mount Eden-Claremont (West): Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 8, 2025
Another Life Gone, Another Driver Gone
Just last Wednesday night, a 44-year-old woman tried to cross West 174th Street at Macombs Road. An SUV turned into a driveway and struck her. The driver did not stop. The woman was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where she died. Police are still searching for the driver. “A 44-year-old woman was fatally mowed down by a reckless driver who struck her while turning into a Bronx driveway before zooming off,” police said.
This is not rare. In the last twelve months, Mount Eden-Claremont (West) saw 220 injuries and 3 serious injuries from crashes. Four people have died since 2022. The numbers do not stop. The pain does not stop.
The Usual Weapons: Cars, SUVs, and Silence
The streets here are ruled by cars and SUVs. They cause most of the harm. In the last three years, they were behind 109 pedestrian injuries, including five serious ones. Motorcycles and mopeds added six more. Bikes, two. Trucks and buses, six. The machines are big. The people are small.
The drivers often flee. The city often waits. “Police are still searching for the runaway driver. No arrests have been made, the NYPD said.”
Leadership: Words, Letters, and Votes
Local leaders have called for change. Council Member Althea Stevens joined others to demand safer crossings on the Washington Bridge. They asked for protected bike lanes, wider paths, and better lighting. “The city has done a terrific job of making wise investments in improving mobility on both sides of the Harlem River, but left the bridge with just two very narrow, poorly lit lanes for foot and bike traffic.” But the bridge is still dangerous. The letters are not enough.
Senator Sepúlveda voted yes on bills to curb repeat speeders and extend school speed zones. The laws are good. The streets are not yet safe.
The Toll of Waiting
Every week, another crash. Every month, another family broken. The drivers keep going. The city keeps waiting. The dead do not come back.
Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real protection for people on foot and bike. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
