Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Throgs Neck-Schuylerville?
Bronx Streets Bleed While Politicians Stall—Who’s Next?
Throgs Neck-Schuylerville: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 17, 2025
The Wounds That Do Not Heal
In Throgs Neck-Schuylerville, the numbers do not tell the whole story, but they do not lie. In the last twelve months, 188 people were injured in crashes. Two were seriously hurt. No one lost their life. The dead do not speak. The injured carry scars the rest of us cannot see.
A man tries to stop a thief from taking his car. He is dragged down the street. His leg is torn away. He may never walk again. “The victim suffered head trauma and an amputated left leg and remains in critical condition at Jacobi hospital,” reported ABC7.
A neighbor stands on the sidewalk and says, “This has absolutely happened before,” told the Daily News. The violence is not new. It is routine.
The Numbers Behind the Pain
Since 2022, 527 people have been injured here. Two have died. Six suffered serious injuries. The young are not spared. In the last year, 18 children were hurt. Cars and SUVs do most of the damage. Trucks and motorcycles add to the toll. No one is immune.
Pedestrians are struck at intersections and in the street. Cyclists are hit. Drivers and passengers are crushed in metal and glass. The numbers rise and fall, but the pain stays.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
The city passed new laws. Speed cameras now run day and night. The speed limit can be lowered. But in Throgs Neck-Schuylerville, the danger remains. The Bronx saw a 4% rise in car thefts this year, even as rates fell citywide reported ABC7. Local leaders talk about safety. The streets do not change. The blood dries and the news moves on.
What You Can Do
This is not fate. It is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand lower speed limits. Demand more cameras. Demand streets built for people, not just cars. Do not wait for another neighbor to bleed in the gutter. Take action now.
