Bronx River Parkway: two men dead, a city still speeding

Bronx River Parkway: two men dead, a city still speeding

Bronx CB4: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025

Two young men went down on the Bronx River Parkway before dawn. Police say a 21‑year‑old in a Mercedes tried to pass, hit a Volkswagen, then struck two motorcycles. Both riders—Manuel Amarantepenalo, 19, and Enrique Martinez, 21—died at the hospital. Prosecutors charged the driver with vehicular manslaughter and DWI. He refused a chemical test, according to the complaint. A sister stood outside court and said, “Two people were killed. He was drunk.” Gothamist | NY Daily News

The southbound lanes closed near Gun Hill. Traffic piled up. Two families went home without their sons. Gothamist

Nights are when the bodies fall

In Bronx CB4, the harm clusters after dark. The worst hours are 1 a.m., 4–5 a.m., and 9 a.m., with deaths logged at those times. Injuries surge late evening too. The midnight hour alone shows 91 injuries and five serious injuries. This does not stop. NYC Open Data

Heavy roads cut through this board. The Major Deegan, the Cross Bronx, Jerome, Webster. They are on the top list for blood and bent metal: two deaths and 63 injuries on Webster; one death and 204 injuries on the Deegan; two deaths and 183 injuries on the Cross Bronx. NYC Open Data

SUVs and cars do most of the killing and maiming here. Pedestrians bear it: 417 injured, four killed over the period. Bicyclists: 138 hurt. Riders on mopeds and the like: 66 hurt, one killed. Occupants inside vehicles fare better but still die. NYC Open Data

What the records already say

A 75‑year‑old woman crossed with the signal at Grand Concourse and E. 164th. A sedan with an unlicensed driver hit her. Unsafe speed. Signal ignored. She died. NYC Open Data, CrashID 4716652

On Jerome and Shakespeare, a 47‑year‑old on a moped hit a parked pickup’s rear quarter and died of head wounds. It was after 1 a.m. NYC Open Data, CrashID 4675146

On the Deegan at 1:51 a.m., an SUV with an unlicensed driver struck a pedestrian outside the intersection. Apparent death at the scene. NYC Open Data, CrashID 4752519

The pattern is speed. The cost is life.

“Speed kills” is not a slogan here. It is the coroner’s line. In this board, unsafe movement and other driver actions lead most of the harm. The city’s own numbers show late‑night spikes, repeat corridors, and SUVs driving the toll. NYC Open Data

State lawmakers moved one tool. The Senate bill S 4045 would force repeat violators to install speed‑limiting tech. Local Senators Jose Serrano and Luis Sepúlveda voted yes in committee; both co‑sponsored. This targets drivers who rack up points or a string of camera tickets. Open States: S 4045

Albany also extended 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras through 2030. Local members voted yes. The cameras stay on. Open States: S 8344

Fix the streets that keep breaking us

Start where the blood pools: Webster Avenue, the Major Deegan, the Cross Bronx, Jerome. Daylight corners. Harden the turns. Give leading pedestrian intervals. Protect bike and moped space where riders are getting hit. Push truck routes off local streets at night. Target repeat hotspots after midnight. NYC Open Data

Citywide steps belong here too. Lower the default speed limit. Pair it with the speed‑limiter bill for repeat offenders. Keep the cameras on. The names on the Bronx River Parkway demand it. Open States: S 4045

Take one step today. Tell City Hall and Albany to slow the cars and stop the repeat speeders. Start here: Take Action.

Speeding SUV Kills Bronx Cab Driver

Aug 9 - A cab driver died after an SUV, moving at 77 mph in a 25 zone, struck his car in the Bronx. The driver ran. DNA on the airbag led to charges. The street stayed silent. The loss remains.

According to the New York Post (2025-08-09), Imani Williams was charged after her SUV hit a livery cab at 77 mph in a 25 mph zone, killing driver Robert Godwin. Prosecutors say Williams used a bus lane, ran a red light, and fled on foot. DNA from the airbag identified her. District Attorney Darcel Clark said, 'This defendant was allegedly driving three times the speed limit when her SUV slammed into a livery cab.' The case highlights the deadly risk of speeding and reckless driving in city streets.
