Work shift, pinned and gone
A car wash worker in Morrisania was crushed between two SUVs. Police say the driver fled on foot. Two years passed. An arrest came. The charge sheet is long: manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, leaving the scene. New York Post.

Who moves, who acts
Albany put tools on the table. The Senate advanced the Stop Super Speeders Act to force repeat violators to use speed limiters. Senator Sepúlveda voted yes in committee and co‑sponsored it. Open States. NYC can also set safer speeds under Sammy’s Law. The city has started to lower limits on some blocks, but the decision for a wider drop sits with City Hall and the Council. Take action.

What ends this
Lower the default speed. Fit the worst drivers with governors. Fewer bodies on Webster. Fewer vigils on 167th. Start now. Here’s how.
