Bronx CB5: Night roads, hard deaths
Bronx CB5: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 26, 2025
Two young men died before dawn on the Bronx River Parkway. Police say a 21‑year‑old in a Mercedes tried to pass a Volkswagen, struck it, then hit two bikes. Both riders were thrown and died at the hospital. The driver was arrested and charged with vehicular manslaughter and DWI, according to Gothamist and the Daily News. “Police have arrested and charged a man with vehicular manslaughter and driving while intoxicated,” Gothamist reported. One sister stood in court and said, “Two people were killed. He was drunk,” per the Daily News.
This happened in Bronx Community Board 5. It keeps happening.
Where the body count lands
Since 2022, CB5 has seen 7 traffic deaths and over 2,000 injuries in 3,054 crashes, according to city data (NYC Open Data). Pedestrians took 4 deaths and 424 injuries. People on bikes were hurt 148 times. Car occupants made up the rest.
The worst corridors by harm:
- Jerome Avenue: 1 death, 84 injuries.
- Major Deegan Expressway: 2 deaths, 172 injuries.
- Grand Concourse: 134 injuries.
A 44‑year‑old woman was killed off‑intersection on Macombs Road near W. 174th late at night, tagged to driver distraction in the dataset (CrashID 4833327). A 35‑year‑old man died on the Deegan in 2024 (CrashID 4730009). A 62‑year‑old pedestrian was killed at a Deegan ramp in 2023 (CrashID 4642857).
Nights take people
The clock tells a pattern. Deaths stack after dark. The hours with fatalities: midnight, 2 a.m., 6 p.m., 11 p.m. Two deaths hit at midnight. Two more at 2 a.m. Evening hours carry heavy injury loads too (NYC Open Data).
Contributing factors in the roll‑up: “other” leads the harm count by far. The sheet still flags alcohol involvement, inattention, unsafe speed, and improper passing in injury crashes here (NYC Open Data). On the parkway case, police and prosecutors cited DWI and passing before the two riders were hit, per Gothamist and amNY.
The machines that hurt us
In pedestrian cases here, sedans and SUVs account for most injuries and deaths in the dataset. Pedestrians were killed by sedans and trucks, and most injuries came from SUVs and sedans (NYC Open Data).
Fix the corners, slow the straights
Start where people break. Hardening turns and daylighting at Jerome Avenue and Grand Concourse. Night patrols and automated enforcement at the peak hours flagged above. Target repeat hotspots and ramp merges on the Deegan. Protect crossings off‑intersection where the dead have fallen.
Then go bigger. Lower the city default speed limit. Force repeat speeders to slow down.
Albany renewed 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras through 2030; local lawmakers voted yes, including Assembly Member Tapia and Senators Jackson and Rivera, per legislative records in our timeline (S 8344 votes). In June, senators moved a bill to require intelligent speed assistance for repeat violators; Rivera voted yes in committee and is listed as a co‑sponsor (S 4045). The Assembly file is A 2299; Tapia is a co‑sponsor (A 2299). The Senate summary says it targets drivers who rack up points or multiple camera tickets with mandatory speed limiters.
Two men died on the parkway. A woman died on Macombs. A man at the Deegan ramp. The list goes on. Slow the cars. Hold the worst drivers by the throat of the machine.
What families said
“He’s just walking freely? Two people were killed,” a sister said at court, reported by the Daily News. “How could they let him go?” the victim’s mother asked in the same report. The defense lawyer said his client will fight the charges, per the Daily News.
