Crosswalk, Midnight, Bronx: One Woman Down, and a Pattern That Doesn’t Stop
Precinct 41: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 3, 2025
Just after midnight at Leggett and Bruckner, a driver going north hit a 32‑year‑old crossing in the crosswalk. She was pronounced dead at Lincoln. Police are looking for the driver, who left the scene.
She is one of 12 people killed on 41st Precinct streets since Jan 1, 2022, according to city crash data (NYC Open Data).
The night takes people here
The deaths cluster in off‑hours. The record shows two fatalities at 12 AM, more at 2–3 AM, and others before the morning commute and late at night (NYC Open Data). The woman at Leggett and Bruckner died just after 12 AM on Aug 26, 2025, police said (ABC7; NY Daily News).
Trucks keep showing up in the worst cases. A dump truck turning right at Tiffany and Barry killed a 29‑year‑old cyclist before dawn on Aug 9, 2023 (NYC Open Data). A box truck starting from a parked position on Oak Point struck and killed a 61‑year‑old man on Apr 17, 2025 (NYC Open Data).
Bruckner and Westchester bleed
The worst corridors are not secrets. Bruckner Boulevard and Westchester Avenue top the list for injuries and deaths in this precinct’s data (NYC Open Data). The woman killed at Leggett was in the Bruckner crosswalk when the northbound driver hit her, police said (ABC7; New York Post).
Pedestrians pay the price: 5 killed, 247 hurt since 2022 here. Cyclists: 2 killed, 104 hurt. The rest are vehicle occupants (NYC Open Data).
The numbers rise while we wait
This year isn’t easing. Through the period covered, the precinct logged 589 crashes, up 15.9% from the same stretch last year. Deaths rose from 1 to 3. Serious injuries from 1 to 7 (NYC Open Data). The pattern is steady, and it’s local.
What the 41st can do tomorrow
Start with the places that kill. Harden turns and add daylighting at Bruckner and Leggett. Do the same along Bruckner Boulevard and Westchester Avenue. Give pedestrians lead time at signals. Focus enforcement on failure‑to‑yield at the listed hotspots, and on heavy trucks at dawn runs. The crash record points there.
The policies that match the harm
Citywide, the fixes exist. Lower the default speed limit under Sammy’s Law and slow residential streets to 20 MPH. Pass the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) to require speed limiters for repeat camera offenders. These steps are laid out with contacts and scripts here.
This is the 41st Precinct. The local Council Member is Rafael Salamanca, Jr.. The Assembly Member is Amanda Septimo. The State Senator is Jose Serrano. The bills and tools are on the table in that guide. The deaths are on these streets.
One woman crossed at Leggett and Bruckner and never reached the far curb. The next call is ours. Start here.

City Funds Overdue Bronx Intersection Fix▸Jul 30 - Seventeen years. Two deaths. Hundreds hurt. The city finally moves to rebuild a Bronx intersection where danger stalks every crossing. Concrete, signals, and sidewalks will change the ground, not the memory.
Patch reported on July 30, 2025, that New York City approved $45 million to reconstruct the hazardous intersection at East 177th Street, Devoe Avenue, and East Tremont Avenue. The area saw at least 246 crashes, 358 injuries, and two deaths since 2011. The plan, stalled for 17 years, will shorten crossings, add sidewalks, and upgrade signals. The corridor serves schools, bus stops, and parks. DDC spokesperson Ian Michaels called it an 'incredibly complex project.' Delays left vulnerable road users exposed. The redesign aims to reduce conflict and injury at a site long marked by systemic danger.

City Funds Overdue Bronx Intersection Fix▸Jul 30 - Seventeen years. Two deaths. Hundreds hurt. The city finally moves to rebuild a Bronx intersection where danger stalks every crossing. Concrete, signals, and sidewalks will change the ground, not the memory.
Patch reported on July 30, 2025, that New York City approved $45 million to reconstruct the hazardous intersection at East 177th Street, Devoe Avenue, and East Tremont Avenue. The area saw at least 246 crashes, 358 injuries, and two deaths since 2011. The plan, stalled for 17 years, will shorten crossings, add sidewalks, and upgrade signals. The corridor serves schools, bus stops, and parks. DDC spokesperson Ian Michaels called it an 'incredibly complex project.' Delays left vulnerable road users exposed. The redesign aims to reduce conflict and injury at a site long marked by systemic danger.
