Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Williamsbridge-Olinville?
Bronx Streets Bleed—How Many More Must Die Before Albany Acts?
Williamsbridge-Olinville: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 12, 2025
The Death Count Grows
Eight people are dead. Fifteen more are seriously hurt. In Williamsbridge-Olinville, the numbers do not lie. They bleed. In the last twelve months, two more lives were lost—one was 21, another 75. 267 people have been injured in crashes here in the past year.
Just last week, two men on scooters were struck and killed on the Bronx River Parkway. Police said, “The men were ejected from their scooters and fatally injured in the collision.” The driver faces charges of vehicular manslaughter and driving while intoxicated. The crash closed the highway for hours, but for two families, the road will never reopen.
Vulnerable Road Users Pay the Price
Pedestrians and cyclists do not walk away. SUVs killed three people on foot here. Cars and trucks caused most of the pain: 164 pedestrian injuries, three deaths. Motorcycles and mopeds left six more injured. Bikes, too, are not spared. The street is not safe for anyone outside a car.
A year ago, a cyclist was crushed at E 233rd Street. A 64-year-old man was killed crossing with the signal at Bronxwood Avenue. The pattern is simple. The outcome is not.
Leadership: Progress and Delay
Local leaders have moved, but not fast enough. State Senator Jamaal Bailey voted yes to curb repeat speeders with mandatory speed limiters. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie has backed red light camera expansion and a bill to cut driving by 20%. But Heastie also blocked the city’s push for lower speed limits. As one mother said after her child was killed, it was “Albany backroom politics at its worst.”
Every day of delay means another family grieves.
The Next Step Is Yours
Call your council member. Call your state senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand action on repeat dangerous drivers. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. The street remembers. So should we.
