Why Westchester Avenue Is One of the Most Dangerous Corridors in the Bronx

Westchester Avenue runs through Longwood, Hunts Point, Parkchester, and Castle Hill, serving as a major east-west commercial corridor connecting the South Bronx to Pelham Bay, running beneath the 6 train elevated line. According to NYPD collision data, this corridor recorded 19 crashes in the most recent 90-day reporting period, injuring 10 people.

The leading causes of crashes along Westchester Ave include improper lane usage, driver inattention and distraction, and alcohol involvement. High-collision cross streets include Southern Blvd, Castle Hill Ave, Bruckner Blvd.

Limited visibility under the elevated tracks and heavy truck traffic contribute to sideswipe and rear-end crashes causing whiplash, lumbar strains, cervical radiculopathy, and wrist injuries.
