Bronx Park: Seven Dead, Hundreds Hurt—City Stalls, Blood Flows

Bronx Park: Seven Dead, Hundreds Hurt—City Stalls, Blood Flows

Bronx Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 6, 2025

The Numbers That Don’t Lie

Seven dead. Five hundred five injured. In Bronx Park, from 2022 to June 2025, the numbers pile up like wreckage. One serious injury after another. One death, then another. The youngest hurt was a child. The oldest, a senior. No one is spared.

A 30-year-old man was crushed by a sedan on the Bronx River Parkway. A moped driver, age 27, ejected and killed. Another driver, 42, dead behind the wheel. The stories change, but the endings do not. NYC Open Data keeps the count. The street keeps the scars.

Leadership: Promises and Silence

Local leaders talk about Vision Zero. They talk about lowering speed limits. They talk about cameras and enforcement. But the dead do not hear talk. They do not see the press releases. In April, a man lay in the street after a road rage assault. An ambulance struck him as he waited for help. The news reported it: “Authorities say a man injured in a road rage assault in the Bronx was also hit by a passing ambulance while lying on the street.”

The city has the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. They have not done it here. Cameras could be everywhere, but Albany drags its feet. Each day of delay is another day of risk.

What Comes Next

This is not fate. These deaths are not the weather. They are the result of choices. Choices made by leaders who wait, who stall, who say the right words and do too little. The numbers will rise until the choices change.

Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph limit. Demand speed cameras that never go dark. Demand streets that put people first.

Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
