A Coach Complained About a Dangerous Intersection. Then He Was Killed There.
Briefly

After a tragic accident at a Bronx intersection, Dwight Downer, a witness who previously condemned speeding drivers, was himself killed by a reckless driver this past weekend.
Dwight Downer was known as a beloved football coach in the Bronx, dedicating his time to mentoring children in a youth football program and his high school.
The incident marks a grim statistic, as over 100 pedestrians have already been killed in New York City traffic this year, representing a nearly 13 percent increase from the previous year.
Witnesses and family remember Mr. Downer as not only a dedicated coach and father but also as someone who had expressed concern about the dangers posed by speeding drivers at the intersection.
