Highbridge’s Roads, Highbridge’s Reckoning
Highbridge: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 26, 2025
Two riders. Two graves.
On Aug. 11, two young men on bikes died on the Bronx River Parkway. Police charged a 21‑year‑old driver with vehicular manslaughter and DWI, according to reports. Their sister stood outside court and said, “He’s just walking freely? Two people were killed. He was drunk. Think about how he took two lives. That’s not fair.” said Clari Amarante Penalo. Their mother asked, “How could they let him go? How could they do that?” asked the victim’s mother. The driver’s lawyer answered: “My client is prepared to contest these charges and he looks forward to in court.” said his lawyer.
Where Highbridge gets hit
Since 2022, Highbridge has endured 913 crashes, with 480 people injured and 3 seriously hurt. Zero deaths here in that span. The pain clusters at the Major Deegan Expressway and Jerome Avenue. The Deegan alone saw 107 injuries and two serious injuries. Night hits hard. The midnight hour logged 28 injuries; 6 p.m. peaked at 38.
The usual culprits show up: inattention, red‑light runs, failure to yield. Left turns hurt walkers. SUVs and sedans strike most pedestrians here — 23 by sedans and 22 by SUVs in this period.
Local fixes are not mysteries. Daylighting and LPIs at W. 170th and Shakespeare. Hardened turns on Edward L. Grant Highway. Lighting upgrades and night enforcement where injuries spike. Keep trucks off narrow residential blocks.
What leaders did — and didn’t
State Sen. Jose Serrano backed S 4045 to require speed limiters for repeat violators; he voted yes in committee. Council Member Althea Stevens co‑sponsored a student bike‑share discount to expand safer trips to school Int 1287‑2025. Bronx BP Vanessa Gibson pressed DOT to fix the Washington Bridge, calling for wider paths and better lighting letter to DOT.
It’s not enough. Lower the citywide default speed limit. Pass speed‑limiter mandates for the worst drivers. Build the basics on the ground: daylighting, LPIs, hardened turns, and night lighting where people actually get hit.
Do this now
Tell City Hall and Albany to slow cars and cage the repeat offenders. Start here: take action. The street will not wait.
