About these crash totals
Counts come from NYC police crash reports (NYC Open Data). We sum all crashes, injuries, and deaths for this area across the selected time window shown on the card. Injury severity follows the official definitions in the NYPD dataset.
- Crashes: number of police‑reported collisions (all road users).
- All injuries: total injured people in those crashes.
- Moderate / Serious: subcategories reported by officers (e.g., broken bones vs. life‑threatening trauma).
- Deaths: people who died due to a crash.
Notes: Police reports can be corrected after initial publication. Minor incidents without a police report are not included.

About this chart
We group pedestrian injuries and deaths by the vehicle type that struck them (as recorded in police reports). Use the dropdown to view totals, serious injuries, or deaths.
- Trucks/Buses, SUVs/Cars, Mopeds, and Bikes reflect the reporting categories in the crash dataset.
- Counts include people on foot only; crashes with no injured pedestrians are not shown here.
Notes: Police classification can change during investigations. Small categories may have year-to-year variance.
CloseAbout these numbers
These totals count vehicles with at least the shown number of camera‑issued speeding violations (school‑zone speed cameras) in any rolling 12‑month window in this district. Totals are summed from 2022 to the present for this geography.
- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.
About this list
This ranks vehicles by the number of NYC school‑zone speed‑camera violations they received in the last 12 months anywhere in the city. The smaller note shows how many times the same plate was caught in this area in the last 90 days.
Camera violations are issued by NYC DOT’s program. Counts reflect issued tickets and may omit dismissed or pending cases. Plate text is shown verbatim as recorded.

Jerome at Cameron: one death before dawn, and a map of hurt
Fordham Heights: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 26, 2025
Just after 4 AM on Oct 19, 2025, on Jerome Avenue at Cameron Place, a 46-year-old driver in a BMW sedan died. Police recorded unsafe speed at the scene (NYC Open Data).
This Month
- That same night on Fordham Road near 350 E Fordham Rd, a 34-year-old man on an e-bike was injured when a taxi turned right; police listed improper passing and lane use (NYC Open Data).
- On Oct 17 at Valentine Avenue and E 188 Street, a person walking was hit by a moped while crossing with the signal; police recorded failure to yield and unsafe speed (NYC Open Data).
- On Oct 16 at E 183 Street and Ryer Avenue, a person on a bike suffered severe facial cuts in a crash with another e‑bike (NYC Open Data).
A neighborhood counting bodies and bones
Since 2022, Fordham Heights has seen 4 people killed and 727 injured in traffic crashes (CrashCount period stats). Buses, bikes, walkers—everyone pays; most harm comes from drivers of cars and SUVs, but the toll is shared across modes (CrashCount period stats).
The clock matters. Death clusters in the dark. Three deaths hit around 4 AM; another came near 1 AM, while injuries stack up in the late afternoon rush (CrashCount hourly distribution). Police records repeat the same causes you can fix: unsafe speed, failure to yield, and inattention (CrashCount contributing factors).
Corners that keep breaking people
Two corridors carry much of the hurt. Jerome Avenue shows 2 deaths and 49 injuries; the Grand Concourse shows 1 death and 81 injuries. Both keep showing serious harm over time (CrashCount hotspot rollup).
Day to day, the pattern grinds on. Year‑to‑date in this area, crashes are down 20.8% and injuries down 26.0% from last year, but people are still dying and getting maimed here (CrashCount year‑to‑date comparison).
What leaders did—and did not do
On Fordham Road, a stronger bus lane design was shelved, and riders are still stuck in slow, dangerous traffic. The mayor killed the upgrade; Council Member Oswald Feliz opposed it. Riders kept waiting in jams that enforcement did not clear (Streetsblog NYC).
In Albany, the Senate’s Stop Super Speeders bill would force chronic violators to install speed‑limiting tech. State Senator Gustavo Rivera co‑sponsored it and voted yes in committee (Open States). In the Assembly, Yudelka Tapia has backed the companion push to require speed limiters for repeat offenders (Open States). At City Hall, Oswald Feliz backed daylighting legislation to clear sightlines at crosswalks, but he also opposed the stronger Fordham bus fix that could speed buses and calm traffic where people keep getting hurt (Streetsblog NYC).
What will stop the next 4 AM siren?
Here, the data points to simple steps:
- Slow the cars on Jerome Avenue and the Grand Concourse—lower limits and enforce speed at night, when deaths hit hardest (hourly distribution).
- Daylight crosswalks and harden turns at repeat‑harm corners; failure to yield keeps showing up in police reports (contributing factors).
- Restore a real transit‑first design on Fordham Road so buses move and drivers cannot block or double‑park into people’s paths (Streetsblog NYC).
Citywide, two levers can end the pattern: adopt lower default speeds and pass the speed‑limiter bills. Rivera is on the record for S4045. Tapia has backed the Assembly’s version. Feliz owes riders and walkers a Fordham Road that puts them first. The next 4 AM call does not have to come.
