Late hits, long silence on White Plains and Bruckner
Soundview-Clason Point: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 16, 2025
Just after 3 PM on Oct 1, at Bruckner Blvd and Rosedale Ave, an 18-year-old on an e-bike collided with a driver in a 2017 Ford SUV and was left unconscious. Source.
This Week
- Sep 22: at White Plains Rd and Seward Ave, a driver in an SUV turned right and hit a person on another motorized device; the rider, 64, was ejected and injured (source).
- Sep 15: at Bruckner Blvd and Rosedale Ave, two SUVs going straight crashed; a 65-year-old driver was injured (source).
- Aug 1: at White Plains Rd and Lacombe Ave, a driver going straight in a sedan hit a person on an e-bike turning right; the rider, 47, was injured (source).
What the numbers say on these blocks
Since Jan 1, 2022, Soundview–Clason Point has recorded 3 deaths and 517 injuries across 1,013 crashes. Pedestrians account for 2 of those deaths; one was a person walking on the Bruckner Expressway. Cyclists and other micromobility riders have been hurt again and again. Source.
Crashes cluster on a few corridors. White Plains Road leads the toll with 1 death and 67 injuries. The Bruckner Expressway area shows 1 death and 55 injuries. Sound View Avenue has 1 death and 16 injuries. Source.
When the street goes dark
Fatal crashes here struck at midnight, 1 AM, and 10 PM. Injury peaks hit the afternoon rush, around 3 PM and 6 PM. Police most often record driver inattention, failure to yield, and improper turning among the named factors. Source.
The fixes sit on desks
Daylighting at corners, leading pedestrian intervals, hardened left turns, and traffic‑calming on White Plains Road and along Bruckner’s service roads would answer what the data shows: repeated hits at the same places and hours. Targeted enforcement at these hotspots and times is overdue. Source.
One lever is ready in Albany. The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) would require intelligent speed limiters for drivers with repeat camera or points violations; State Sen. Nathalia Fernández voted yes in committee in June 2025 (bill). What about Assembly Member Emérita Torres? What gives?
At City Hall, Council Member Amanda Farías backed faster pavement markings to cut confusion after repaving (Int 1160‑2025). That is baseline. The city can move more streets to 20 MPH and expand proven protections. See how to press them to do it here.
The kid on Bruckner will not forget Oct 1. Neither will the families who count those three graves. Act now, before the next corner goes quiet.
