Precinct 44: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 24, 2025

The Blood on the Asphalt

In Precinct 44, the numbers do not lie. Ten people killed. Nineteen left with serious injuries. Over two thousand hurt. These are not just numbers. They are fathers, daughters, neighbors. They are the price of inaction.

Just weeks ago, a driver in a Ford Mustang failed a left turn at East 149th and Courtlandt. He mounted the sidewalk and struck six people. He ran. The victims went to Lincoln Hospital. Their wounds were called minor. But the street remembers. “Cops are looking for a man who rammed into six people after botching a turn at an intersection in the Bronx,” the report read.

Last fall, a woman ran over a man at a gas station, dragged him nearly a thousand feet, and left him to die. She looked under her car, saw him pinned, and drove away. The Bronx District Attorney called it “egregious” and said it showed “a lack of humanity.” “The defendant allegedly drove her car over the victim… then after looking under her vehicle… she allegedly drove away without reporting what happened.”

The Vehicles That Kill

SUVs and sedans do most of the damage. Four killed, 359 injured by cars and trucks in this precinct since 2022. Motorcycles and mopeds, too—one killed, 17 injured. Bikes left 14 hurt. The streets are not safe for anyone who walks or rides.

Leadership: Action or Silence?

The police have the tools. They can enforce speed limits. They can ticket drivers who fail to yield. They can target the corners where blood pools and sirens wail. But they must choose to act. The law is not enough if it is not enforced.

Local leaders have the power to demand more. They can push for slower speeds, safer crossings, and real accountability. They can listen to the families who have lost and the neighbors who are afraid. Or they can wait for the next siren.

Call to Action: Demand Safety Now

Do not wait for another name on the list. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand speed enforcement. Demand tickets for reckless turns. Demand action at the corners where people keep getting hurt. Every day of delay is another day of risk.
