Bronx River Parkway kills two. The pattern runs through Claremont.
Claremont Village-Claremont (East): Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- Two young riders went down on the Bronx River Parkway near E. 223rd St. Police say a 21‑year‑old tried to pass, hit a Volkswagen, then struck two bikes. Both riders, Manuel Amarantepenalo, 19, and Enrique Martinez, 21, died. The driver was charged with vehicular manslaughter and DWI, according to Gothamist and AMNY. “A drunken BMW driver fatally struck two motorcyclists,” police told the Daily News.
- A sister stood outside court and said, “Two people were killed. He was drunk,” per the Daily News.
Speed on the highway. Blood on the road. The Bronx goes on.
The danger lives on Webster and Park
Claremont streets show the same crack in the wheel. The top hot spot here is Webster Avenue. It racks up 61 injuries and three serious ones. Park Avenue shows deaths too. Two lives lost across its listings.
Pedestrians take the hits. In this area since 2022: 104 people on foot injured, 2 killed, per city data on crashes, persons, and vehicles (crash dataset; persons; vehicles). Trucks and buses are in the mix for the worst pedestrian harm here, with 6 pedestrian crashes involving trucks and 3 with buses causing moderate to serious injuries (persons).
“Unsafe speed” sits at the top of the causes roll‑up in this neighborhood: 173 injuries, 6 serious, 4 deaths logged as “other” with speed embedded across police factors (NYC Open Data).
Nights are bad. Late nights are worse.
The hurt piles up after dark. Two deaths hit at midnight. Three more at 9 p.m. The afternoon bleeds too, but the spike comes late. The hourly curve shows the bodies—21:00 with 3 deaths, 0:00 with 2, and steady injuries across the rush (NYC Open Data).
One city record at Webster and E 168th St lists a man killed at 12:44 a.m. The log flags “Unsafe Speed.” A 2021 Mercedes, southbound. Center front hit. Pedestrian, apparent death. That is all the state will say (CrashID 4811637).
Three corners. One fix.
- Daylight the crossings on Webster and Park. Remove the blind parking at corners. Protect the walk.
- Add hardened left turns and leading walk signals at the hot spots on Webster Avenue and Park Avenue.
- Target trucks and repeat speeders at night. The local roll‑up shows trucks in the severest pedestrian harm and late‑night deaths stacked on the clock (persons).
These are standard tools. They save lives when used.
Officials know what works — do they?
Albany gave New York City the power to set safer speeds. The city can drop more streets to 20 mph. Advocates say do it now. Our own call to action lays it out and links the steps to do it: Take Action.
The state is also moving on repeat speeders. Senator Luis Sepúlveda voted yes in committee for S 4045, a bill to force chronic violators to use speed limiters. The bill advanced on June 11 and June 12, 2025.
Don’t wait for the next siren
Since 2022 in this neighborhood: 852 crashes. 543 injuries. Five deaths. Trucks, cars, bikes, bodies, all logged in the city’s files (crashes; persons). The pattern is not new. It is only close.
Lower speeds. Curb the worst drivers. Fix the corners on Webster and Park. Do it before midnight takes another name.
