Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in West Farms?
West Farms Bleeds—Lower the Speed Before More Lives Are Lost
West Farms: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
The Toll on West Farms Streets
A woman steps off the curb. A car jumps the light. The street swallows her. In West Farms, the numbers pile up. Since 2022, two people are dead. Five more are left with serious injuries. In the last twelve months alone, 160 neighbors have been hurt in 210 crashes. No one walks away unchanged.
The dead do not speak. The living remember. A 26-year-old woman was killed by an SUV on Boston Road. She was not in the roadway. She never made it home. The city calls it a collision. The family calls it a loss that never ends.
The Pattern: Cars, Speed, and Broken Bodies
Cars and SUVs do most of the damage. They killed two. They left dozens more with broken bones and blood on the street. Bikes and mopeds hurt a handful, but the real carnage comes on four wheels. The numbers do not lie: SUVs and sedans are the main threat to life and limb here.
The stories repeat. A driver misses a turn and mounts the sidewalk. Six people go to the hospital. Police say the injuries are minor, but the fear lingers. “I saw one lady was out on the ground. They was giving her medical attention, checking her body. She was laid out,” said a witness. The city moves on. The street stays the same.
Leaders: Votes, Bills, and the Waiting
Local leaders have moved, but not fast enough. State Senator Luis Sepúlveda voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat speeders to install speed-limiting tech in June 2025. Assembly Member Karines Reyes co-sponsored the same bill. Council Member Oswald Feliz backed a law to ban parking near crosswalks. These are steps. But the blood keeps flowing. The city has the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. It has not done so.
The survivors wait. The dead do not.
Call to Action: Make Them Feel the Heat
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to drop the speed limit to 20 mph. Tell them to back bills that stop repeat speeders. Do not wait for another name on the list.
