Two riders dead on the Bronx River Parkway. The pattern didn’t start there.
District 13: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 26, 2025
Two men went down on the Bronx River Parkway before dawn. Police say a 21‑year‑old in a Mercedes tried to pass a Volkswagen, hit it, then struck two motorcycles. Both riders—Manuel Amarantepenalo, 19, and Enrique Martinez, 21—died. Prosecutors charged the driver with vehicular manslaughter and DWI. “He was drunk,” a sister said in the hallway outside court. “Two people were killed.” He was later released without bail while the case is reviewed, and the DA may upgrade charges, reporters noted. Gothamist, NY Daily News, amNY.
Amarantepenalo made it to Montefiore by private car. Martinez was rushed to Jacobi. Neither survived. Police closed the southbound lanes near Exit 9. The highway reopened. The families did not. Gothamist, CBS New York.
Where the road bites back
This district bleeds on its highways. The Hutchinson River Parkway accounts for injuries again and again, and at least two deaths in this period. So does the Bruckner. Both rank among the worst local corridors. NYC Open Data.
Peak pain comes after dark. Injury counts stay high from late night through the small hours, with fatal spikes at 4 a.m., 8 a.m., 10 a.m., 4–5 p.m., 8–9 p.m., and 11 p.m. The pattern holds: nights and rush hours cut deep. NYC Open Data.
On Bronxdale Avenue, serious injuries pile up. On the Hutchinson and the Bruckner, deaths follow the speed. These are the repeat sites. NYC Open Data.
Who gets hurt, and by whom
Since 2022, eleven people have died here. Nearly 3,000 were hurt. Pedestrians took the blows 384 times; four died. Cyclists crashed 132 times; one died. Most harm came from cars and SUVs, with trucks adding weight to the toll. NYC Open Data.
SUVs and sedans are the main strike force against people on foot, with trucks close behind. In the rollup of pedestrian injuries, cars and SUVs dominate. Trucks kill, too. NYC Open Data.
Contributing factors stack up as “other,” distraction, driver inexperience, and disregard for signals. Failure to yield injured 15 more. Unsafe speed appears in the data, but the crashes speak louder. NYC Open Data.
The hours no one should have to live through
From midnight to 3 a.m., injuries stay steady. At 4 a.m., deaths spike. The evening brings another wave, peaking through 9 p.m. The 11 p.m. hour closes with two more dead. These are the hours families learn what happened. NYC Open Data.
Year to date, crashes are up more than half over last year’s pace. Injuries are up, too. The count keeps growing. NYC Open Data.
Fix the streets we know are killing us
Start where the blood is fresh: the Hutchinson River Parkway and the Bruckner Expressway. Target the nighttime hours flagged by the data. Add lighting on dark approaches and ramp merges. Harden turns on East Tremont. Daylight corners on feeder roads. Post speed management and truck controls at the worst entries and exits.
Then scale what works citywide. Lower the default speed limit on local streets. The city has the power under Sammy’s Law; advocates are already pushing it. Mandate speed‑control tech for repeat speeders. The state bill on “super speeders” would force limiters on cars that rack up tickets or DMV points. These steps exist. Use them. Take Action.
Voices that won’t let go
“He’s just walking freely? Two people were killed. He was drunk. Think about how he took two lives.” That was a sister outside court. “How could they let him go?” a mother asked. The defense lawyer said his client will contest the charges. NY Daily News.
The highway reopened. The names remain.
