About these crash totals
Counts come from NYC police crash reports (NYC Open Data). We sum all crashes, injuries, and deaths for this area across the selected time window shown on the card. Injury severity follows the official definitions in the NYPD dataset.
- Crashes: number of police‑reported collisions (all road users).
- All injuries: total injured people in those crashes.
- Moderate / Serious: subcategories reported by officers (e.g., broken bones vs. life‑threatening trauma).
- Deaths: people who died due to a crash.
Notes: Police reports can be corrected after initial publication. Minor incidents without a police report are not included.

About this chart
We group pedestrian injuries and deaths by the vehicle type that struck them (as recorded in police reports). Use the dropdown to view totals, serious injuries, or deaths.
- Trucks/Buses, SUVs/Cars, Mopeds, and Bikes reflect the reporting categories in the crash dataset.
- Counts include people on foot only; crashes with no injured pedestrians are not shown here.
Notes: Police classification can change during investigations. Small categories may have year-to-year variance.
CloseAbout these numbers
These totals count vehicles with at least the shown number of camera‑issued speeding violations (school‑zone speed cameras) in any rolling 12‑month window in this district. Totals are summed from 2022 to the present for this geography.
- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.
About this list
This ranks vehicles by the number of NYC school‑zone speed‑camera violations they received in the last 12 months anywhere in the city. The smaller note shows how many times the same plate was caught in this area in the last 90 days.
Camera violations are issued by NYC DOT’s program. Counts reflect issued tickets and may omit dismissed or pending cases. Plate text is shown verbatim as recorded.

Evening comes, and the street bleeds
Van Cortlandt Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 17, 2025
Just after noon on Aug 3, 2025, at Broadway and W 242 St, a driver in a 2015 Lexus hit a 76-year-old man who was walking. Police logged him injured and conscious. The driver was going straight. The man went down in the street (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Aug 23: on the Major Deegan, a southbound SUV hit a parked ambulance; a 9-year-old in the SUV was logged unconscious and injured (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 7: southbound on the Major Deegan, a BMW changing lanes hit a Ford pickup; the BMW’s driver was injured (NYC Open Data).
- Jul 19: on the Major Deegan at night, a person on an e‑bike and a sedan were in a crash; the person on the bike was injured (NYC Open Data).
Nights on the Deegan
This neighborhood has seen one person killed while walking since 2022, and ten more people walking injured. People on bikes were hurt five times. Police logged 323 injuries to vehicle occupants. These counts come from the city crash database for Van Cortlandt Park (NYC Open Data).
The heat map is the highway. The Major Deegan Expressway is the top harm zone here, with one death and 182 injuries. Henry Hudson Parkway follows with 39 injuries. Broadway at W 242 St shows injuries too (NYC Open Data).
Injuries spike after work. The worst hours are evenings: 6 PM, 7 PM, and 11 PM post the highest tallies in this area’s record since 2022. Night falls; the numbers rise (NYC Open Data).
Known fixes, delayed
Simple moves save lives at corners like Broadway and W 242 St: daylight the curb, give walkers a head start, harden turns, slow the approach. On the highways’ edges and ramps, cut speeds and protect the merge zones at the neighborhood seams. Evenings need lighting, visibility, and targeted enforcement where the data says it hurts.
The policy tools exist. Albany extended school‑zone protections in 2025 (S 8344). In City Hall, a bill would let ambulettes drive and double‑park in bus lanes. Council Member Eric Dinowitz signed on (Int 1339‑2025). More double‑parking and blocked bus lanes push people walking and using mobility aids into traffic.
Who stands where
State Senator Gustavo Rivera co‑sponsors a bill to force speed limiters on repeat speeders (S 4045). That targets the drivers who keep breaking the rules.
Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz and Council Member Eric Dinowitz opposed a protected lane on Bailey Avenue, part of the Harlem River Greenway. “We support bike lanes,” Assembly Member Dinowitz said, while fighting a design that would remove 46 parking spots (Streetsblog). The crashes keep coming.
Do the work
The harm is mapped. The hours are known. One woman walking is gone. Ten more people walking were hurt. Five people on bikes were hurt. The Deegan and Henry Hudson mark the worst of it here (NYC Open Data).
Pass the repeat‑speeder bill. Build the protected lane. Fix the corners at Broadway and W 242 St. Then keep going. If you want this to move faster, tell City Hall and Albany what you want. Start here.

Dinowitz Supports Speed Humps Opposes Harmful Road Diets▸Mar 10 - After a hit-and-run injured a child, Bronx lawmakers called for speed humps and stop signs.

On March 10, 2025, Council Member Eric Dinowitz and Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz pressed the city for speed humps and four-way stop signs in Riverdale, following a hit-and-run that injured a 9-year-old girl. Their request, sent to the Department of Transportation before the crash, was denied due to low car volumes and insufficient crash history. The lawmakers, at a press conference, supported speed humps and stop signs but opposed road diets and universal daylighting. Eric Dinowitz argued, 'If you walked down any of these streets, they are far too narrow to narrow any more.' He also rejected citywide daylighting, insisting, 'Daylighting has to be done corner by corner.' The council member has criticized DOT’s safety efforts before, framing the agency as unresponsive. No safety analyst assessment was provided for this action.
