Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Morris Park?
Three Dead, Hundreds Hurt: Morris Park Bleeds While Leaders Stall
Morris Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 18, 2025
The Slow Grind of Harm
In Morris Park, the numbers pile up. Three people killed. Two seriously hurt. 336 injured. These are not just numbers. They are lives broken on the street. In the last twelve months alone, 139 people were injured in 193 crashes. One was a child. One was a senior. The street does not care. The cars do not stop.
A 16-year-old girl died crossing at Paulding and Neill. A truck turned left. She never made it to the other side. A 91-year-old man was killed at Radcliff and Rhinelander. He was working in the road. A sedan kept going straight. He did not get up again. A 64-year-old cyclist was struck and killed at Williamsbridge and Pierce. The truck kept going. The bike did not move.
The Voices in the Aftermath
On Bartow Avenue, a witness saw the cost. “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. Another neighbor heard it. “It was a terrible sound – it was a terrible incident that happened.” said Jennifer.
These are not accidents. They are the result of choices, laws, and the shape of the road.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Local leaders have taken some steps. Assembly Member John Zaccaro co-sponsored a bill to expand speed camera enforcement. Senator Nathalia Fernández voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, which would force repeat speeders to install devices that keep them from breaking the limit. These are steps. But the blood on the street says it is not enough.
Most injuries come from cars and trucks. In Morris Park, SUVs and sedans caused 68 pedestrian injuries and one death. Trucks and buses killed one and hurt three more. Not a single cyclist killed a pedestrian. The danger is not from bikes. It is from heavy, fast machines.
What Comes Next
Call your council member. Call your assembly member. Tell them the truth: The deaths are not random. They are preventable. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement. Demand streets built for people, not just cars. Do not wait for another name on the list.
