Precinct 42: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 11, 2025

Death on the Streets: The Numbers and the Names

Five people killed. Thirteen left with serious injuries. In the past year alone, 517 hurt. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care about hope or promises. They only grow.

Just days ago, a woman was killed crossing West 174th Street in Morris Heights. The driver kept going. Police are still looking for the car. There is no name yet for the dead, only a number and a street, as reported by ABC7. “A 44-year-old woman was fatally struck in a hit-and-run crash in the Bronx,” the report reads. The car did not stop. The woman died at St. Barnabas Hospital. No arrests. No answers. Gothamist called it plain: “Police said they’re looking for the driver of a vehicle who struck and killed a woman as she crossed a Bronx street late Wednesday night and then fled the scene.”

In the last twelve months, Precinct 42 has seen 785 crashes, 5 deaths, and 13 serious injuries. Children, elders, cyclists, and pedestrians are among the dead and wounded. The violence is not random. It is routine.

What Has Been Done—and What Has Not

Local leaders have tools. They can lower speed limits, redesign streets, and enforce the law. The police can crack down on speeding, reckless driving, and failure to yield. They can target known hotspots. They can issue tickets. They can act. But the blood on the street says not enough has changed.

Speeding, hit-and-runs, and drivers who do not yield are killing people here. The police and city have the power to stop it. They have not used it enough.

The Role of Precinct 42: Enforcement or Excuse?

Precinct 42 can enforce speed limits. They can ticket drivers who fail to yield. They can watch the corners where people die. They can make it clear: you cannot kill and drive away. But the numbers show the work is not done. Each crash is a warning. Each death is a failure.

Call to Action: Demand Action, Demand Life

Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand speed enforcement. Demand real protection for people walking and biking. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. The dead cannot speak. You must. See how to take action.
