Bronx SD 34: One October crash, four years of loss
SD 34: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 1, 2025
On Oct 1, 2025, a crash in Senate District 34 went into the city log. No injuries were listed in the record (NYC Open Data).
Names, corners, and the count that does not stop
A 75-year-old man walking with the signal at White Plains Rd and Wood Ave was hit by a left-turning driver in a 2023 BMW SUV and died on Feb 3, 2025, police recorded failure to yield and distraction by the driver (NYC Open Data, Crash 4790185). A 66-year-old man on a bike was struck by a pickup at Westchester Ave and Commonwealth Ave on Oct 19, 2024, and died (NYC Open Data, Crash 4764528). A 47-year-old woman walking at St Raymond Ave and Seddon St was killed by a left-turning pickup just before midnight on Dec 6, 2024; police cited failure to yield and distraction by the driver (NYC Open Data, Crash 4776866).
Since Jan 1, 2022, crashes in this district have killed 34 people and injured 5,346 more, with 71 serious injuries recorded in the same span (NYC Open Data).
The pattern is plain: turns and speed
Police logs in these deaths name the drivers’ actions. Left turns at crosswalks. Failure to yield. Distraction. A 64-year-old man crossing at Turnbull Ave and Castle Hill Ave was killed on Sep 25, 2023; police listed unsafe speed by the driver alongside inattention (NYC Open Data, Crash 4667474). A 22-year-old man walking on White Plains Rd near Archer St was killed in the roadway on Feb 4, 2024; two drivers were involved (NYC Open Data, Crash 4700217).
Speed also shows up in the Bronx courts. “This defendant was allegedly driving three times the speed limit when her SUV slammed into a livery cab,” said District Attorney Darcel Clark about a 77‑mph bus‑lane hit‑and‑run that killed a 45‑year‑old driver in 2022 (New York Post).
Year to date, reported crashes in this district are down to 1,756 from 1,823 at this point last year, with deaths falling from 9 to 6 and serious injuries from 26 to 16. Injuries rose from 1,125 to 1,289 (NYC Open Data). The line does not run straight. The toll remains.
The bills on the table, and who moved
The Senate’s Stop Super Speeders Act — S 4045 — would require intelligent speed assistance after a driver racks up 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year (Open States). Senator Nathalia Fernández voted yes in committee on Jun 11 and Jun 12, 2025 (Open States, 6/11 vote, 6/12 vote).
In the last 12 months, city cameras flagged repeat speeders again and again: by one count there were 16,107 tickets issued after vehicles crossed the 16‑ticket threshold, and 42,113 after six tickets, year to date in 2025. These are tickets that the bill is designed to prevent (CrashCount analysis of camera data).
Lower speeds save lives. New York City already has the power to set safer limits under Sammy’s Law; DOT has begun rolling out 20 MPH zones and can expand them (CrashCount: Take Action).
Assembly Member Michael Benedetto represents this area. Council Member Kristy Marmorato does too. The record here shows deadly turns and speed. Senator Fernández moved S 4045 forward. The Assembly has the same bill number listed. Has the Assembly member co‑sponsored or pushed it? What gives (Open States)?
What must happen next
Two steps sit in reach.
- Pass the Stop Super Speeders Act to force speed limiters on the worst repeat offenders (Open States).
- Lower the default speed limit and build out 20 MPH zones where people walk and bike (CrashCount: Take Action).
The Oct 1 crash drew no injuries on paper. The corners named above did not. The file is thick. The fixes are known. Act now: start here.
