Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Soundview-Bruckner-Bronx River?
Blood on Bruckner: Speed Kills, Silence Lets It Happen
Soundview-Bruckner-Bronx River: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 18, 2025
The Toll This Year
Two people are dead in Soundview-Bruckner-Bronx River since January. Seven more are seriously hurt. The numbers are small until you see the faces. A 75-year-old man, crossing with the signal, struck down by a left-turning SUV. A 17-year-old, ejected from a motorcycle, killed on E 172nd Street. These are not numbers. These are lives stopped cold.
Crashes keep coming. In the last twelve months, three killed, nine left with life-changing injuries, 269 more hurt. The streets do not forgive. Cars, SUVs, trucks—they hit hardest, but no one is safe. Children, elders, cyclists, all at risk.
The Human Cost
On a Friday in February, a man tried to cross White Plains Road. He had the light. The SUV did not stop. He died there, on the street. The police called it “failure to yield right-of-way” and “driver inattention” according to city data.
A neighbor saw the aftermath of another crash: “I saw one lady was out on the ground. They was giving her medical attention, checking her body. She was laid out.” said Samuel Cherry. The sound of the crash stays with them: “It was a terrible sound – it was a terrible incident that happened.” said Jennifer.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Local leaders have begun to act. State Senator Nathalia Fernández voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat speeders to install speed-limiting devices see bill record. The law targets the worst drivers, but the rest keep rolling. Speed cameras are up, but not everywhere. The city can now lower speed limits, but most streets are still too fast.
No one has done enough. The dead do not come back. The injured do not heal with words. Every delay means another family waits for news at the hospital.
What You Can Do
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit on every street. Demand real protection for people walking and biking.
Do not wait for another name on the list.
