Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Soundview-Bruckner-Bronx River?
Speed Kills, City Sleeps—How Many More Must Die?
Soundview-Bruckner-Bronx River: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 9, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
Just last week, a woman was killed crossing 174th Street in Morris Heights. The driver did not stop. Police are still looking for the car. She died at St. Barnabas Hospital. There have been no arrests. As reported by ABC7, “A 44-year-old woman was fatally struck in a hit-and-run crash in the Bronx.”
In the last twelve months, four people have died on these streets. One was a child. Two were over 75. 338 people were injured. Ten were hurt so badly their lives will never be the same. The numbers do not stop. The pain does not end.
Speed, Flight, and the Cost of Delay
The cars do not slow down. The drivers do not always stay. In June, a cab driver named Robert Godwin was killed. The SUV that hit him was going 77 miles per hour in a 25 zone. The driver ran a red light, used the bus lane, and then ran away. As the New York Post reported, “This defendant was allegedly driving three times the speed limit when her SUV slammed into a livery cab, and she fled the scene without checking on the driver’s condition or waiting for first responders to arrive.”
The dead do not get a second chance. The families do not get answers. The street stays the same.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Local leaders have voted to extend school speed zones and to curb repeat speeders. State Senator Nathalia Fernández and others voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, which would force drivers with a record of speeding to install devices that keep them from breaking the limit. But the city has not lowered the default speed limit. The council and mayor could act now. They have not.
Call to Action: Demand More Than Words
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to lower the speed limit and enforce it. Tell them to fix the street before another child, another elder, another neighbor is lost. The dead cannot call. You can.

The Bronx has no DOT borough commissioner. Crashes rise. Council Member Salamanca demands answers. Leadership is missing. Accountability is thin. Other boroughs have commissioners. The Bronx waits. Streets stay dangerous. DOT promises a hire. The clock ticks.
On September 13, 2023, the City Council held an oversight hearing on the Department of Transportation’s leadership and street safety in the Bronx. Council Member Rafael Salamanca (D-Concourse Village) pressed DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, stating, "There is no borough commissioner in the borough of the Bronx." The Bronx has lacked a permanent commissioner since November 2021. Salamanca demanded a timeline for filling the role, arguing, "There needs to be a level of accountability and our level of accountability is reaching out to that borough commissioner. Please speed it up." DOT responded that street safety projects are not planned or implemented by borough commissioners, but Salamanca insisted the vacancy leaves the Bronx exposed as crashes and injuries rise. All other boroughs have commissioners. The Bronx waits for leadership as danger mounts.
