Bronx CB12: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025

Another driver. Same ending.

Just after midnight on the Bronx River Parkway, southbound near E. 223rd St, police say a 2019 Mercedes tried to pass a Volkswagen. The cars hit. Then the Mercedes hit two mopeds. Both riders were thrown. Manuel Amarantepenalo, 19, and Enrique Martinez, 21, died at nearby hospitals, police said. The driver was arrested and charged with vehicular manslaughter and DWI, according to AMNY and Gothamist. “A drunken BMW driver fatally struck two motorcyclists,” police told the Daily News.

A sister stood outside the courthouse and said, “Two people were killed. He was drunk.” Her words landed like a gavel. (Daily News)

Deadly ground, block by block

  • On White Plains Rd at E 216 St, a 76-year-old woman was struck and killed at night. Police list driver inattention. (NYC Open Data: CrashID 4815461)
  • On Eastchester Rd at Givan Ave, a 60-year-old man died in a multivehicle crash. (CrashID 4775743)
  • On Monticello Ave at Strang Ave, a 27-year-old motorcyclist was ejected and killed. Police cite traffic control disregarded. (CrashID 4769894)

The map burns in the same places. The Bronx River Parkway segment is a top hotspot here, with multiple deaths and injuries. White Plains Road shows dozens more.

Nights tell the truth

The body count climbs after dark. In CB12, deaths cluster late evening into night: 10 p.m., 11 p.m., midnight, and the hour after, with multiple fatalities in those hours alone. Injuries spike through the evening rush and keep going into the night. (small-geo analysis hourly distribution)

SUVs lead the harm to people on foot. Trucks kill too. Of pedestrian injuries and deaths here, SUVs are tied to the most cases, with trucks next in deaths. (small-geo vehicle rollup)

Causes on paper, names in stone

Police reports flag “other” and distraction again and again. They also list failure to yield and traffic control disregarded. These boxes fill. The graves do not empty. (small-geo contributing factors)

Three corners. One fix.

Try simple, proven steps where people keep getting hit:

  • Daylight the corners on White Plains Rd and at E 216 St. Cut the blind spots. Harden left turns.
  • Give leading pedestrian intervals at White Plains Rd crossings and along Bronxwood Ave.
  • Target the late-night pattern on the Bronx River Parkway with sustained enforcement at the hotspot segment near Gun Hill and E 223rd.

These are not theories. They are treatments we know. The data points to the same blocks. (top intersections)

Officials know what works — do they?

The Senate voted to force repeat speeders to slow down. Bill S 4045 advanced with yes votes from local Senator Jamaal Bailey. It would require intelligent speed assistance for habitual violators. (Open States)

Albany also renewed 24-hour school-zone speed cameras through 2030. Lawmakers like Bailey and Assembly Member Dinowitz voted yes to extend protections. (Gothamist on red-light and camera expansion)

Slow every street

The city has the power to lower speeds. Sammy’s Law cleared the way, and a 20 mph default would save lives. Our own call to action says it plain. Lower the limit. Use the cameras. Stop the repeat offenders. (CrashCount Take Action)

Names become numbers if we let them. Two riders on a parkway. A woman on White Plains Road. A man at Givan. The hours keep coming. The road keeps taking.

Take one step today: ask the city to drop the default speed to 20 mph and back the speed limiter bill. Start here: Take Action.
