Bruckner night, a man down. No driver stopped.
Precinct 43: Jan 1, 2022 - Dec 4, 2025
About 9:30 PM on Nov 24, a driver in a 2024 Volkswagen Atlas hit a man on the Bruckner Expressway near Morrison Ave in Soundview. “The operator … was cruising in the center lane … before slamming into the man … around 9:30 p.m.,” reported the Daily News.
He was one of 26 people killed on streets in Precinct 43 since Jan 1, 2022, per city crash records (NYC Open Data). Eleven were people walking, three were on bikes, eleven were vehicle occupants, and one used another motorized device, according to those same records.
This Week
- Nov 24: A man walking was killed on the Bruckner Expressway near Morrison Ave; police list the vehicle as an SUV (Open Data crash 4859837).
- Nov 7: A left‑turning sedan hit a 59‑year‑old man crossing near 1600 Bruckner Blvd; police recorded failure to yield by the driver (Open Data crash 4855861).
Nights take people here
Deaths stack up after dark. The worst hours are 9 PM and midnight in this precinct’s record, each with four deaths, with more fatalities clustering late at night (Open Data hourly distribution). On Nov 24 it was night on the Bruckner. On other nights it’s Westchester Avenue, White Plains Road, and the Cross Bronx service roads.
Known corners, known harm
Since 2022, police records tie multiple deaths to known corridors: Bruckner Expressway (4 deaths) and Cross Bronx Expressway (2), plus heavy injury counts on Westchester Avenue and White Plains Road (Open Data, precinct rollups). Police also record driver behaviors we can fix: failure to yield shows up again and again, including the Nov 7 left‑turn crash (crash 4855861). Speed is another recorded factor in fatal precinct crashes (Open Data contributing factors).
What the precinct can do now
Target the places that keep hurting people. Harden left turns and daylight crossings on Westchester Avenue and White Plains Road. Post late‑night enforcement on the Bruckner and Cross Bronx service roads. Focus summonses on failure to yield and unsafe speed where deaths concentrate (Open Data hotspots and hours).
Citywide fixes that end repeats
Two steps match what the data here shows. First, lower speeds everywhere people walk. NYC has the authority to reduce limits and has started doing so; a citywide 20 MPH default on local streets would give everyone more time and space. Second, stop the worst repeat speeders with intelligent speed assistance after a defined threshold. The proposed Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would require speed limiters for drivers who rack up camera and point violations (learn more and take action).
Bronx constituents here are represented by Council Member Amanda Farías, Assembly Member Emérita Torres, and State Senator Jose Serrano. The record we can find in this dataset shows the deaths. Their public support for a lower default speed limit and for the Stop Super Speeders Act is what will decide what happens next. What gives?
One thing you can do today: tell City Hall and Albany to slow the cars and rein in repeat speeders. Start here.
