Aicha Camara, 4, was struck July 16 on Longfellow Avenue between E. 165th and E. 167th streets — a block where DOT installed Slow Zone signs in 2011, then moved them off the roadway by 2015. The driver of a gray Jeep hasn't been caught.

A driver in a gray Jeep struck Aicha Camara, 4, on the afternoon of July 16 as she crossed Longfellow Avenue between East 165th and East 167th streets in the Bronx's Longwood section — directly outside Longfellow Playground — and sped off without stopping. Camara was taken to Harlem Hospital with a head wound and a shattered right leg; she was expected back home July 18, according to her sister, Mmahawa Traore, 22.

The NYPD released a photo of the suspected driver and is asking anyone with information to call 800-577-8477. No arrest had been made as of Streetsblog's report Thursday.

Witness Jason Coronado, who was near the crash, told Streetsblog the vehicle never slowed. "A little girl was crossing the street and a car came fast and kept going," Coronado said.

The block has a documented record of inadequate safety infrastructure. In 2011, the Department of Transportation installed Slow Zone signs on Longfellow Avenue — concrete blocks in marked boxes set in the roadway to signal reduced speeds. By 2015, Streetsblog reported that DOT had moved those signs off the roadway and onto the sidewalk, sharply reducing their visibility to drivers. As of July 16, there was no stop sign at the intersection where Camara was struck. "They should have more stop signs because there's not even a stop sign at the street where it happened," Traore told Streetsblog.

Nearby resident Maria Canela told reporters that drivers routinely treat the narrow road as a highway, and that police have told her there is nothing they can do about the speeding.

Traore said her family, who relocated from Tennessee to the South Bronx about two years ago, is now planning to leave. "We're going to move away," she said, "to somewhere safer, streetwise."
