Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 46?
Bronx Streets Bleed—Drivers Kill, Leaders Sleep
Precinct 46: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 24, 2025
The Slow Grind of Loss
In Precinct 46, the street is a wound that never closes. Since 2022, six people have died and 1,950 have been injured in crashes. Twenty-four were left with injuries so grave they may never heal (NYC Open Data).
Just last week, a 79-year-old driver crashed into two cars and a pole. His 71-year-old passenger, Stella Nyarko-Dei, died at Jacobi Hospital. Seven others were hurt. No one ran. No one was arrested. The cause is still unknown. “One lady was out on the ground. They was giving her medical attention,” said Samuel Cherry.
On July 3rd, a man in a Mustang failed a left turn and mounted the sidewalk. Six people were struck. The driver ran. All six went to Lincoln Hospital. Police said, “Cops are looking for a man who rammed into six people after botching a turn at an intersection in the Bronx.”
The sidewalk is not safe. The crosswalk is not safe. The car always wins.
The Numbers That Do Not Lie
SUVs and cars hurt the most. Since 2022, they have killed two, seriously injured nine, and hurt 329 more. Trucks and buses killed one, injured 21. Motorcycles and mopeds, 42 injuries. Bikes, 15. The numbers are bodies. The bodies are neighbors (NYC Open Data).
Leadership: Action or Absence?
The police in Precinct 46 have the tools. They can enforce speed limits. They can ticket reckless drivers. They can target the corners where blood stains the curb. But the silence is heavy. No bold new enforcement. No public crackdown. No word from the council or the mayor.
The dead do not vote. The injured do not march. But the living can call. The living can demand.
Call to Action: Make Them See
Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand speed enforcement. Demand failure-to-yield tickets. Demand action at every hotspot.
Do not wait for the next crash. The street will not wait for you.
