Late November on Lydig and Tomlinson

Precinct 49: Jan 1, 2022 - Dec 5, 2025

On Nov 25, a driver in a sedan hit a 19-year-old woman in the marked crosswalk at Lydig Ave and Tomlinson Ave; police recorded distraction and unsafe speed by the driver (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • Nov 24: a 57-year-old on a bike was injured near 2100 Williamsbridge Rd; police noted limited view and glare (NYC Open Data).
  • Nov 15: a 67-year-old walking was hurt off‑intersection near Victor St; multiple vehicles were involved (NYC Open Data).
  • Nov 14: a 22-year-old on a bike was injured at Lydig Ave and Muliner Ave; police cited limited view and driver distraction (NYC Open Data).

The count in Precinct 49

Since 2022, 12 people have been killed and 2,476 injured in Precinct 49 crashes (NYC Open Data). This year, crashes are up 7.9% over last year; injuries are up 24.1%; deaths are unchanged at 2 (NYC Open Data).

Where it keeps breaking

Police list failure to yield, distraction, and unsafe speed in crash records across this precinct (NYC Open Data). Harm clusters on corridors like White Plains Road and Boston Road, and on the Bronx River Parkway (NYC Open Data). The 5 PM hour stands out: the records show a death, six serious injuries, and more than two hundred injuries in that hour slot alone over the period (NYC Open Data).

The turn that killed

On Nov 13 at Allerton Ave and Holland Ave, an 80-year-old woman crossing with the signal was struck and killed by a left-turning sedan; police recorded the driver’s failure to yield and limited view (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4858140).

What fixes here look like

Start with the corners that hurt people: daylighting, hardened turns, and leading pedestrian intervals on corridors flagged above. Target the 5 PM spike with visible enforcement for failure to yield and speed at those nodes. These are standard tools; the records here point where to place them (NYC Open Data).

City levers that stop repeat harm

Two steps scale the safety gains beyond one corner:

  • Lower speeds: New York City now has authority to reduce speed limits on local streets; DOT has begun rolling out 20 MPH zones. Slower speeds save lives (NYC DOT, policy timeline).
  • Stop the worst repeat speeders: The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would require intelligent speed assistance after repeated camera or point violations. The bill targets the tiny group doing outsized harm; details and contacts are here.

Council Member Kevin C. Riley, Assembly Member John Zaccaro, and State Senator Gustavo Rivera represent this area. Will they back the Stop Super Speeders Act and push for wider 20 MPH zones here? The deaths and injuries above are theirs to fix.

End where we began. A crosswalk on Lydig. A person on foot. A driver who didn’t slow down.

Take one step that matters: press your officials to act and add your name and voice here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CrashCount?
We’re a tool for helping hold local politicians and other actors accountable for their failure to protect you when you’re walking or cycling in NYC. We update our site constantly to provide you with up to date information on what’s happening in your neighborhood.
How were these numbers calculated?
We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets — Crashes (h9gi-nx95), Persons (f55k-p6yu), and Vehicles (bm4k-52h4) — filtered to Police Precinct 49 for Jan 1, 2022 through Dec 5, 2025. We counted deaths, injuries, and serious injuries by mode and hour using the linked records in those tables. Data were accessed Dec 4–5, 2025. You can start from the Crashes dataset here and apply the same date and precinct filters.
Where are the worst trouble spots in Precinct 49?
Crash records cluster on major corridors including White Plains Road, Boston Road, and the Bronx River Parkway. These locations show high injury counts in the period reviewed, and are priorities for corner hardening, daylighting, and signal timing changes, based on the dataset’s location tallies.
When do injuries spike here?
The 5 PM hour stands out in the precinct’s crash data, with the highest combined count of injuries and the most serious harm during that hour in the period analyzed.
What concrete actions can reduce harm now?
Add daylighting, hardened turns, and leading pedestrian intervals at the corridors above; target 5 PM with failure-to-yield and speed enforcement at those nodes; and push citywide steps — lower default speeds and require speed limiters for repeat offenders — using the contacts and bill details on our action page.
