Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in University Heights (South)-Morris Heights?
Two Dead, Hundreds Hurt: Speed Kills—Leaders Stall
University Heights (South)-Morris Heights: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 12, 2025
Blood on the Asphalt: Recent Crashes, Fresh Loss
Just last week, two men on scooters were struck and killed on the Bronx River Parkway. Police said, “The men were ejected from their scooters and fatally injured in the collision.” The driver faces charges of vehicular manslaughter and driving while intoxicated. The crash closed the highway for hours. Another day, another family left waiting at a hospital door.
In the past twelve months, this neighborhood saw 204 injuries and 1 death from 284 crashes. Three people suffered serious injuries. The dead do not come back. The injured carry scars you cannot see.
Who Pays the Price?
The numbers do not lie. Cars and trucks killed 3, injured 98, and seriously hurt 3 pedestrians. Motorcycles and mopeds left 10 injured. Bikes, too, are not spared. This is not fate. It is policy, speed, and steel.
Local Leaders: Action and Silence
Some leaders have moved. State Senator Robert Jackson co-sponsored and voted for a bill to require speed limiters for repeat speeders—a step to keep killers off the road. “The bill targets drivers with a pattern of violations, seeking to cut risk for pedestrians and cyclists by limiting repeat speeding.”
Council Member Pierina Sanchez backed bus lane upgrades and supported a busway on Tremont Avenue, but the city stalled on Fordham Road. Riders still wait in traffic. The street does not forgive delay.
Assembly Member Yudelka Tapia co-sponsored bills for speed limiters and voted to extend school speed zones. She also backed Sammy’s Law, which gives the city power to lower speed limits. But the default speed remains deadly.
The Call: No More Waiting
Every crash is preventable. Every delay is a choice. Call your council member. Call your assembly member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed limiters for repeat offenders. Demand streets where children can cross and live.
Do not wait for another name on the list. Act now.
