Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in University Heights (North)-Fordham?
Hit, Run, Forgotten: Bronx Streets Bleed While City Stalls
University Heights (North)-Fordham: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Deaths That Don’t Make Headlines
A man waits in the dark on the Major Deegan. His car won’t start. He calls friends for help. A Mercedes slams into him from behind. The driver runs. The man, Darryl Mathis Jr., calls again. “I can’t breathe,” he says. His friends call the ambulance. He dies at St. Barnabas Hospital. The driver is gone. “He called to get a jump, and after that, he got hit from behind, a hit-and-run. They were on their way to come give him a jump and he got hit waiting for them. And then he called to let them know, I’ve been hit. I can’t breathe.”
He is not the only one. In the last twelve months, two people have died and 254 have been injured in crashes here. One was a 65-year-old man, struck and killed by a van while crossing with the signal. A child, just four, died after being ejected in a moped crash. The numbers are cold. The pain is not.
The Slow Grind of Policy
Crashes keep coming. In the past year, there were 369 crashes in University Heights (North)-Fordham. One person suffered a serious injury. The rest were luckier, or not. The city says it is working. The mayor calls traffic violence a crime. The police say they are visible. But the street does not care about words. It cares about speed, steel, and flesh.
Local leaders have tools. The city can now lower speed limits to 20 mph. Cameras can catch speeders day and night. But change is slow. The law is on the books, but the street is not yet safer. “NYPD officers will be highly visible on New York City roadways… to deter unsafe driving and, when necessary, to take appropriate enforcement action,” said Police Commissioner Edward Caban. But the dead do not see police lights.
The Work Left to Do
Every crash is preventable. Lower the speed. Harden the crossings. Build the lanes. Hold drivers accountable. The city has the power. The council has the vote. The mayor has the pen. The only thing missing is the will.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit and real protection for people on foot and bike. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. The street will not wait. Take action now.

Senate passed S 7785. The bill carves out large Mitchell-Lama housing from bus traffic rules. Lawmakers voted yes. The carve-out weakens enforcement. Streets grow less safe for people on foot and bike.
Bill S 7785, titled 'Relates to bus operation-related traffic regulations,' passed the Senate and Assembly in June 2025. The measure, sponsored by Senator Jamaal Bailey, excludes violations in cooperative housing developments with at least 10,000 Mitchell-Lama units from bus operation traffic regulations. The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.
