Bronx River Parkway took two young riders. The pattern started long before.
District 16: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Two men died before dawn. Police say a 21‑year‑old in a Mercedes tried to pass, hit a car, then struck two bikes on the Bronx River Parkway near Gun Hill. The riders were thrown and later pronounced dead. Their names: Manuel Amarantepenalo, 19, and Enrique Martinez, 21. The driver was charged with vehicular manslaughter and DWI. He refused a chemical test. Gothamist reported it.
“He’s just walking freely? Two people were killed. He was drunk,” a victim’s sister said outside court, demanding answers after his release without bail, according to the Daily News. “How could they let him go? How could they do that?”
The parkway stayed closed for hours. Police took one person into custody at the scene that morning; charges followed later, as the case moved. Coverage from that first day is here: Gothamist and CBS New York.
Nights bleed in District 16
Crashes pile up after dark. Between midnight and 5 a.m., this district saw 10 deaths and 419 injuries since 2022. The worst single hour: 1 a.m., with 2 deaths and 73 injuries. The 2 a.m. hour saw 2 more deaths and 78 injuries. Even the evening rush draws blood: 5 p.m. logged 2 deaths and 122 injuries. These counts come from the city’s crash database covering 2022–2025. See the roll‑up under hourly patterns in NYC Open Data.
Highways and arterials are the killing fields. The Major Deegan accounts for 3 deaths and 332 injuries. The Cross Bronx adds 2 deaths and 145 injuries. See top locations. On Webster Avenue: 2 deaths and 63 injuries. Jerome Avenue: 1 death and 84 injuries.
The bodies tell the story. Pedestrians: 8 killed, 473 injured. Cyclists: 175 injured. People on mopeds and other small motorized devices: 1 killed, 73 injured. The heaviest harm still falls from cars and SUVs. Source: district mode split in NYC Open Data.
Names we know. Corners we pass.
A woman crossing with the signal at East 167th and Washington was crushed by SUVs. She died there on May 28, 2024. The record lists “Crossing With Signal.” The vehicles: three SUVs. Crash record for CrashID 4728165.
A 43‑year‑old pedestrian died at Webster and East 168th just after midnight. Listed cause: unsafe speed by a 2021 Mercedes sedan. Crash record for CrashID 4811637.
Two passengers died on Park Avenue at Claremont Parkway in a night crash involving a Honda sedan and a Toyota SUV. Crash record for CrashID 4763624.
What the data says, flat and cold
“Unsafe speed” and other driver actions sit atop the district’s harm. The local ledger shows 14 deaths and 735 injuries tied to an “other” bucket that includes speeding and assorted driver errors; “vulnerable road user error” trails far behind at 2 deaths and 134 injuries. Formal tallies by factor are posted in the district analysis on NYC Open Data.
Pedestrian injuries come mostly from cars and SUVs: Sedans (179 pedestrian casualties, 4 deaths) and SUVs (151 pedestrian casualties, 3 deaths). Trucks took 1 pedestrian life. Buses injured people too. Numbers compiled for this area are in the period stats sourced from the city’s dataset.
Promises on paper, blood on pavement
Officials have asked for safer crossings before. In 2022, Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson joined a letter urging DOT to widen paths and add protection on the Washington Bridge for people on foot and on bikes. “The bridge has just two very narrow, poorly lit lanes for foot and bike traffic,” the letter said. Work was urged. The danger remained.
City Hall and the Council have passed smaller fixes: towing derelict cars faster, adding taxi door warnings, decriminalizing jaywalking, and reporting on pavement markings. Vote records and bill texts are on the Council’s Legistar. Whether these save a life at Webster and 168th tonight is a different measure.
What would stem the next siren here?
- Daylight every corner on Webster and Jerome. Pull parking back from crosswalks so a person can be seen. Install hardened left turns at the worst intersections. Use leading pedestrian intervals. These are standard tools; the district map already flags the repeat hotspots.
- Calm speeds at night on the Major Deegan and the Cross Bronx service roads. Target the overnight hours where deaths spike in the city’s own charts. Focus on speed and impairment where the harm clusters.
- Keep trucks and buses in check on local streets. The pedestrian casualty roll‑up shows heavy vehicles killing and maiming here; prioritize routes and turns that avoid crosswalk conflicts.
Citywide moves that would matter on these blocks
- Lower the default limit. Albany gave the city the power. Use it. A 20 mph floor can cut death risk. Make it the rule, not the pilot. Then enforce it. See our call to action: Take Action.
- Stop the worst repeat speeders. Mandate intelligent speed assistance for chronic offenders, as proposed in the Stop Super Speeders Act. Details and contacts are in our guide.
The Bronx River Parkway deaths were not a bolt from the blue. They landed in a district where nights are loud with crashes, where SUVs roll through people in the crosswalk, where speed keeps winning. The facts are enough.

Stevens and her colleagues stress that the bridge is unsafe for people on foot and bike. They urge DOT to act, citing the need to reduce traffic deaths and make the bridge safe for all.
