CloseTwo young riders dead on the Bronx River Parkway. Night after night, the parkways bleed.
Pelham Bay Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Two men died before dawn on the Bronx River Parkway. Police say a 21‑year‑old in a Mercedes tried to pass, hit a car, then struck two bikes. The riders were thrown onto the road and died at hospitals. Their names: Manuel Amarantepenalo, 19, and Enrique Martinez, 21. The driver was charged with vehicular manslaughter and DWI. He refused a chemical test. The southbound lanes closed for hours near Gun Hill.
“Two people were killed. He was drunk,” said a sister at court. “Think about how he took two lives.” The lawyer said his client will contest the charges. Police and prosecutors laid out the basics. Family members asked why he walked free after arraignment.
The morning rush crept past flares and wrecked metal. Another night. Another stretch of Bronx parkway sealed with tape.
The parkways don’t forgive
This corner of the Bronx is carved by fast roads. The dead pile up on the big names. In the last three years, the worst injury clusters sit on the Bruckner Expressway and the Hutchinson River Parkway. Pelham Parkway shows death too.
Night is cruel here. Injuries spike after dark. The heaviest hours run from midnight to 3 a.m., then again from late afternoon into night, with deaths marked at 4 a.m., 4 p.m., and 9 p.m. The data call it out: nighttime conditions.
On these roads, most victims sit inside vehicles. But people outside are not spared. In this zone since 2022: seven cyclists hurt, seven pedestrians hurt, one pedestrian seriously.
Patterns you can touch
City data tags the usual sins: distraction, tailgating, improper passing. “Other” fills many reports. One crash on the Hutch last winter killed a woman and injured a 14‑year‑old in a chain of cars and trucks on slick pavement. Another on Pelham Parkway killed a driver at night. A summer left turn at Bruckner and Pelham ended with a motorcyclist ejected and dead.
Trucks and SUVs are in the mix on every artery. Rear‑ends. Unsafe turns. Speed.
What this neighborhood needs now
Cut the speed where people live and cross. Daylight the turns. Harden them. Give slow‑to‑start signals at Pelham Parkway and the service roads. Target late‑night speeding on the Hutch, the Bruckner, and the Bronx River Parkway.
Then do the citywide work we already know saves lives. Lower the default speed limit on residential streets. Albany gave the city that power. Use it. Force the worst repeat speeders to slow down with intelligent speed assistance after a pattern of tickets or points. State lawmakers advanced that bill this session.
Leaders have the tools. Use them or explain the next obituary to a mother at 2 a.m.
What you can do
Tell City Hall and Albany to slow the cars and stop repeat offenders. Start here: take action.

Judge Maldonado found Rivera's use of deadly force unjustified, writing it 'requires more than the mere possibility of danger.' Tisch disagreed, citing a 'split-second decision' and risk to another officer. The stop began over a seatbelt. Feliz tried to flee; Rivera fired once, killing him. Tisch's decision echoes the state attorney general, who declined charges. The case highlights the commissioner's power over discipline and ongoing debate about police accountability.

Commissioner Clears Officer In Bronx Killing▸Jul 3 - An officer shot an unarmed man during a Bronx traffic stop. The NYPD judge called for firing. The commissioner overruled. The man’s family called it outrage. The system shielded the shooter.
Gothamist (2025-07-03) reports NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch overruled a departmental judge and cleared Lt. Jonathan Rivera, who fatally shot Allan Feliz, unarmed, during a 2019 Bronx traffic stop. Judge Maldonado found Rivera's use of deadly force unjustified, writing it 'requires more than the mere possibility of danger.' Tisch disagreed, citing a 'split-second decision' and risk to another officer. The stop began over a seatbelt. Feliz tried to flee; Rivera fired once, killing him. Tisch's decision echoes the state attorney general, who declined charges. The case highlights the commissioner's power over discipline and ongoing debate about police accountability.
