Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Bronx CB12?
Bronx CB12 Traffic Accidents: Two Riders Dead, Albany Must Act
Bronx CB12: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 15, 2025
This week on the parkway On Monday, Aug. 11, two riders went down on the Bronx River Parkway. Police say a 2019 Mercedes tried to pass a 2015 Volkswagen near East 223rd Street. The car hit. The bikes fell. Both riders were thrown and later died at the hospital, identified as Manuel Amarantepenalo, 19, and Enrique Martinez, 21, according to Gothamist.
NYPD said, “Two men on motorcycles were killed in the crash overnight near East Gun Hill Road.”
A sister stood in the courthouse. “He’s just walking freely? Two people were killed. He was drunk,” said Clari Amarante Penalo.
The toll in CB12 In the last 12 months: 11 people killed and 12 seriously injured in CB12, across 1,153 crashes. This year to date: crashes up 11% and injuries up 23% versus last year to date, per the same dataset.
Names change; the pattern holds. Nov. 30, 2024: a 60-year-old man killed while walking at Eastchester Rd and Givan Ave; factors include driver inattention and unsafe speed. Dec. 1, 2024: a 24-year-old cyclist killed at E 233rd St and Webster Ave. May 24, 2025: a 76-year-old woman killed while walking on White Plains Rd at E 216th St; driver inattention cited.
What leaders did — and didn’t State Sen. Jamaal Bailey voted yes in June to move S4045, a bill to require speed-limiters for repeat dangerous drivers. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie let NYC’s speed‑limit bill die without a vote in 2023. He also oversaw a major red-light camera expansion in 2024. Lawmakers floated automated double-parking cameras this year to keep lanes clear.
Credit for votes that save lives. No passes for delay that costs them.
What you can do now Call Sen. Bailey and Speaker Heastie. Demand a floor vote on S4045. Back full deployment of red‑light and parking cameras. Push NYC DOT and NYPD to protect people outside cars on the Bronx River Parkway, White Plains Rd, and Webster Ave.
Do not look away. Two young men are dead. The next call could be yours.
Street safety in Bronx CB12 is central to Vision Zero. Prevent pedestrian injuries by pressing NYC DOT, NYPD, and the district’s council member to act now.

Supporters cited lives lost when cameras slept. Opponents called it a tax. The vote followed a deadly year. Danger stalks city streets, especially near schools.
On May 26, 2022, the New York City Council voted 43-7 to approve Albany’s extension and expansion of the city’s speed camera program. The measure, handled by the Transportation Committee, allows speed cameras to operate 24/7. The matter summary: 'The City Council approved Albany's extension and expansion of New York's speed camera program, allowing cameras to operate 24/7, but not before several council members voiced opposition.' Chairwoman Selvena Brooks-Powers urged action, saying, 'We must use all the tools at our disposal.' Council Members Joan Ariola, Vickie Paladino, and David Carr opposed, calling cameras a financial burden. Eric Dinowitz defended the program: 'If you don't want a speeding ticket, don't speed.' The vote came after a year of high road deaths, with special risk near schools.

On May 26, 2022, the New York City Council voted 43-7 to approve Albany’s extension and expansion of the city’s speed camera program. The measure, handled by the Transportation Committee, allows speed cameras to operate 24/7. The matter summary: 'The City Council approved Albany's extension and expansion of New York's speed camera program, allowing cameras to operate 24/7, but not before several council members voiced opposition.' Chairwoman Selvena Brooks-Powers urged action, saying, 'We must use all the tools at our disposal.' Council Members Joan Ariola, Vickie Paladino, and David Carr opposed, calling cameras a financial burden. Eric Dinowitz defended the program: 'If you don't want a speeding ticket, don't speed.' The vote came after a year of high road deaths, with special risk near schools.
