Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 43?

Hit-and-Run City: Bronx Blood on Their Hands

Hit-and-Run City: Bronx Blood on Their Hands

Precinct 43: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 9, 2025

The Deaths Keep Coming

In Precinct 43, the numbers do not lie. Twenty-three people killed. Forty-one left with serious injuries. Over 2,400 hurt since 2022. The dead are not numbers. They are neighbors, children, elders. They are the man crossing White Plains Road, the woman struck at midnight on West 174th. They are the cab driver left bleeding in his seat while the driver ran.

Just last week, a woman was killed in a hit-and-run in Morris Heights. The car did not stop. Police searched the alley where she died. No arrests. No answers. A Bronx woman is dead after a hit-and-run in Morris Heights. The story is always the same. The driver flees. The family waits.

Speed is the weapon. In another case, a driver tore through a 25 mph zone at 77 mph, ran a red, and slammed into a livery cab. The cabbie, Robert Godwin, never made it home. The driver left him dying in the street. “This defendant was allegedly driving three times the speed limit when her SUV slammed into a livery cab, and she fled the scene without checking on the driver’s condition or waiting for first responders to arrive,” said District Attorney Darcel Clark.

The Police and the Power They Hold

The 43rd Precinct has the tools. They can ticket speeders. They can crack down on failure to yield. They can target the corners where people keep dying. But the deaths keep coming. The silence is loud.

Leadership: Action or Delay?

Local leaders have the power to act. They can push for lower speed limits, redesign streets, and demand enforcement. They can call for cameras and real penalties for repeat offenders. Or they can wait for the next name to be added to the list.

The Next Step Is Yours

This is not fate. It is policy. Every death is a choice made by those in charge. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand action. Do not wait for another family to grieve.

Take action now.
