Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 49?

Blood on Their Hands: NYC Leaders Stall as Bronx Streets Kill

Blood on Their Hands: NYC Leaders Stall as Bronx Streets Kill

Precinct 49: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Eight dead. Twenty-three seriously hurt. In just over three years, that’s the toll on the streets of Precinct 49. The bodies are not numbers. They are neighbors, children, elders. In the last twelve months alone, 558 people were injured in crashes here. Three suffered injuries so grave they may never walk the same. No one should call this an accident. It is a pattern.

Recent Crashes: No End in Sight

Last week, a 79-year-old driver crashed into two cars and a light pole. His 71-year-old passenger, Stella Nyarko-Dei, died at Jacobi Hospital. Seven others were hurt. The cause is still unknown. The survivors are left to recover. “I saw one lady was out on the ground. They was giving her medical attention, checking her body. She was laid out.” said Samuel Cherry, who watched from the curb.

On July 3rd, a driver in a Ford Mustang failed a left turn, mounted the sidewalk, and struck six people. The driver ran. The victims went to Lincoln Hospital. All survived, but the sidewalk was stained. “EMS transported the six victims to Lincoln Hospital, where they were treated for minor injuries and were in stable condition, cops said.”

Who Pays the Price?

Cars and SUVs did the most harm. Since 2022, they killed three and injured 191. Trucks and buses killed one, injured twelve. Motorcycles and mopeds left no deaths, but ten hurt. Bikes injured three. The old, the young, the ones on foot—these are the ones who pay.

Leadership: Progress and Silence

The city has new powers. Speed limits can drop to 20 mph. Speed cameras are renewed. But the pace is slow. The council and mayor can act now. They have not. The police in Precinct 49 can enforce speed, failure-to-yield, reckless driving. They can target the corners where blood pools. They have the tools. They need the will.

Call to Action: Demand More

This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement. Demand streets where a child can cross and come home. Every day of delay is another family broken. Act now.
