One Crash, One Death, One Demand: Slow Bartow Down Now
Co-Op City: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 14, 2025
The Crash That Shook Co-Op City
On July 11, a 79-year-old driver slammed into two cars and a light pole on Bartow Avenue. His 71-year-old passenger, Stella Nyarko-Dei, died at Jacobi Hospital. Seven others were hurt. The street was left scattered with glass and the sound of sirens. A witness described the scene: “I saw one lady was out on the ground. They was giving her medical attention, checking her body. She was laid out.”
No arrests. No answers. The cause is still under investigation. The survivors are expected to recover, but the loss is permanent. Another neighbor recalled, “It was a terrible sound – it was a terrible incident that happened.”
The Relentless Numbers
In the past 12 months, Co-Op City saw 140 crashes, 96 injuries, and no deaths—until now. Since 2022, the toll is heavier: 495 crashes, 255 injuries, 7 serious injuries, and 1 death. The deadliest machines are cars and trucks. Pedestrians have been struck most often by sedans, SUVs, and trucks. No bikes or mopeds killed anyone here, but the threat from cars never lets up.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Council Member Kevin Riley has co-sponsored bills for speed humps, curb extensions, and safer crosswalks. He voted to legalize jaywalking and expand crash investigations. But the pace is slow. No law has yet forced a citywide 20 mph speed limit.
State Senator Jamaal Bailey voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, which would force repeat dangerous drivers to install speed-limiting tech. Assembly Member Michael Benedetto voted to extend school speed zones. These are steps, not leaps. The street where Stella Nyarko-Dei died is still a speedway.
The Call: Demand More Than Words
One crash. One death. It is enough. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph limit. Demand speed cameras everywhere. Demand action, not delay. The next crash is waiting at the light.
