Two young riders die on the Bronx River Parkway. The pattern doesn’t stop at the ramp.
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.

Dinowitz co-sponsors bill that reduces street safety for pedestrians and cyclists.▸Jul 14 - Council bill lets ambulettes drive and double-park in bus lanes. More vehicles in bus lanes mean more risk for people walking, biking, and waiting at curbs. Danger grows where curb chaos reigns.
Bill Int 1339-2025 sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure since July 14, 2025. The bill, titled 'A Local Law to amend the administrative code...exempting ambulettes from certain bus lane restrictions and allowing them to double park to assist passengers,' would let ambulettes drive, stop, and double-park in bus lanes to help passengers. Council Member Julie Menin sponsors, joined by Linda Lee, Frank Morano, Eric Dinowitz, Lynn C. Schulman, Kamillah Hanks, Carlina Rivera, and Chris Banks. Allowing more vehicles to double-park and block bus lanes increases risk for pedestrians and cyclists at the curb. The city’s most vulnerable will face more conflict and less safe space.

Eric Dinowitz Backs Safety‑Boosting Bike Lanes Opposing Parking Loss▸Jul 8 - Dinowitzes fight the Harlem River Greenway bike lane. They defend parking. Cyclists and walkers wait for safe passage. DOT says protected lanes save lives. The Bronx stays exposed.
On July 8, 2025, Assembly Member Jeff Dinowitz and Council Member Eric Dinowitz publicly opposed the city's plan for a protected bike lane on Bailey Avenue, part of the Harlem River Greenway. The matter, described as an 'anti-car crusade,' centers on the removal of 46 parking spots. The Dinowitzes claim the redesign ignores community voices. DOT and local advocates argue the project will cut injuries and deaths, citing crash data. A safety analyst notes the Greenway will create safe, separated space for pedestrians and cyclists, reducing harm and boosting active travel. The Dinowitzes support bike lanes in principle but resist changes that reduce parking.
