Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 48?
Blood on 177th: How Many More Must Die Before the City Acts?
Precinct 48: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 31, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Bone
In Precinct 48, the numbers do not lie. Ten dead. Fifteen left with injuries so grave they are called serious. Since 2022, more than 1,800 people have been hurt in crashes here. The disaster does not come all at once. It comes in pieces—a body struck, a family changed, a street stained.
Just weeks ago, a 79-year-old driver crashed into two cars and a light pole. His passenger, Stella Nyarko-Dei, died. Seven others were hurt. Police said, “The cause of the crash was not immediately known” (NY Daily News). No arrests. No answers. The street remains.
On July 3rd, a driver in a Ford Mustang missed a left turn and plowed onto the sidewalk. Six people were struck. The driver ran. The sidewalk was left for the medics and the police. “Cops are looking for a man who rammed into six people after botching a turn at an intersection in the Bronx,” (reported the Daily News).
Patterns in the Wreckage
SUVs and cars do the most harm. Since 2022, they have killed two, seriously hurt two, and left over 290 others with lesser injuries. Trucks and buses have struck twenty. Motorcycles and mopeds, twenty-one. Bikes, six. The numbers are cold, but the pain is not.
Children are not spared. 209 people under 18 have been hurt here since 2022.
Leadership: Promises and Delays
After years of waiting, the city finally funded a $45 million fix for the deadly intersection at East 177th, Devoe, and East Tremont. Two deaths and 358 injuries since 2011. The plan will shorten crossings, add sidewalks, and upgrade signals. “We are excited to make progress on this key corridor, which will make incredible pedestrian and vehicular safety improvements,” (said DDC’s Ian Michaels). But the project was stalled for 17 years. The dead waited. The injured waited. The street did not change.
What the Police Can Do—And What You Must Demand
Precinct 48 has the power to enforce speed limits, ticket reckless drivers, and target crash hotspots. They can act now. They just need to know it matters.
Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand action. Every day of delay is another day of risk. The disaster is slow, but it is not silent. It is here, and it is killing us.

Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz stated, "We’re told by the MTA that the bus was trying to get around an illegally double-parked car, and he hit the wall and went through it." The crash damaged the overpass wall and scattered debris onto the street below. No injuries were reported, though conflicting accounts left passenger presence unclear. City Councilman Eric Dinowitz highlighted the broader issue: "We’re seeing all over the city parking regulations not being enforced." The incident underscores the risks posed by illegal parking and the need for stricter enforcement and infrastructure checks.
