West Farms: Two hits in a month, and a ledger of pain

West Farms: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 26, 2025

Just before 11 PM on Oct 19, a driver in a Toyota sedan hit a 14-year-old girl riding a bike near 1939 West Farms Rd. She was listed injured at the scene, ejected, and conscious, according to city crash data (NYC Open Data).

This Month

  • On Oct 7, a driver in a sedan hit a 38-year-old woman walking outside an intersection near West Farms Rd; police listed her as injured (NYC Open Data).
  • On Sep 30, at Southern Blvd and E Tremont Ave, a man on a bike was injured; the record cites unsafe speed and driver distraction (NYC Open Data).

The count does not stop

Since Jan 1, 2022, West Farms has seen 1,045 crashes, with 3 people killed and 712 injured, including 7 serious injuries. These figures come from the same city dataset covering this neighborhood and period (NYC Open Data).

Police reports here keep naming the same driver errors: inattention and failure to yield show up in injury cases; unsafe speed appears in recent bike harm (NYC Open Data). Injuries spike around school and commute hours — about 8 AM and 7 PM — when streets are full of kids and workers (NYC Open Data).

East Tremont Avenue and Boston Road stand out in city ledgers as repeat injury corridors for this area. So does the Cross Bronx Expressway’s footprint (NYC Open Data).

Streets and choices

On Aug 7 at E 180 St and Honeywell Ave, a driver making a left hit a woman crossing with the signal; the record lists driver inattention and failure to yield (NYC Open Data). At Southern and Tremont last month, the log says unsafe speed in a bike injury case. These are not secrets. They are forms.

“We can’t deemphasize and under-prioritize the lives of people of the Bronx,” an MTA leader said about fixing a dangerous corridor nearby (Streetsblog NYC).

Who moved. Who hasn’t.

Your local officials are on the record. State Senator Luis Sepúlveda co-sponsored and voted yes on the Senate’s speed-limiter bill, S 4045, in June 2025 (Open States). Assembly Member Karines Reyes co-sponsors the Assembly companion, A 2299 (Open States). Council Member Oswald Feliz has backed some local safety bills, but opposed a life-saving busway on Fordham Road, where the MTA pleaded for action (Streetsblog NYC).

Fix what the logs keep telling us

  • Daylight corners and harden turns on East Tremont Avenue and Boston Road. Give walkers head starts. Enforce failure-to-yield hot spots.
  • Calm speeds on Southern Boulevard, where a recent bike crash listed unsafe speed. Add protected space where bikes already are.
  • Focus enforcement and design at the evening and morning peaks when injuries stack up.

Citywide, two steps would cut harm here: lower the default speed limit and force repeat speeders to drive with limiters. Both are ready to go. Act now — add your voice to push these fixes forward (Take Action).
