Two young riders dead on the Bronx River Parkway. The pattern is older than they were.
Concourse-Concourse Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
Police say a 21‑year‑old in a Mercedes tried to pass on the Bronx River Parkway near East 223rd Street just after 1 a.m. He hit a Volkswagen, then struck two motorcycles. Both riders were thrown and died at the hospital. Their names: Manuel Amarantepenalo, 19, and Enrique Martinez, 21, both from the Bronx, as first reported by Gothamist and amNY. Police arrested the driver and charged him with vehicular manslaughter and DWI, according to amNY. In court papers cited by Gothamist, officers noted a strong odor of alcohol and unsteady stance.
“Two people were killed. He was drunk,” a victim’s sister said, quoted by the Daily News.
The southbound lanes closed near Exit 9 at Gun Hill Road. Morning traffic backed up while police worked the scene, per Gothamist.
The neighborhood bleeds at the same hours
In Concourse–Concourse Village, injuries pile up at night and in the rush. The worst hours are 5 a.m., 1 a.m., and 5 p.m., each marked by deaths in recent years, with heavy injury clusters at 7–9 a.m. and 3–8 p.m., according to NYC Open Data. Drivers hit hardest on the Major Deegan Expressway and the Grand Concourse. Two deaths and dozens of injuries stack up along Webster Avenue.
The leading killers here are simple and cruel. “Other” driver behaviors account for six deaths. Errors by vulnerable road users show up too, but the body count tracks back to drivers and speed. Unsafe speed shows up again and again in fatal files, per NYC Open Data.
A roll call of loss
A 75‑year‑old woman was killed crossing with the signal at Grand Concourse and E 164th. The car’s front end took her down. Unsafe speed and a blown signal are listed as causes in the city record (CrashID 4716652).
On Webster Avenue, a 47‑year‑old man died at night. An SUV going straight struck him. The file lists distraction and unsafe speed (CrashID 4606635).
On the Major Deegan, an SUV killed a person on foot. License: unlicensed. Registration: out of state. The record marks “Apparent Death” at the scene (CrashID 4752519).
Across this area since 2022: five people killed, more than a thousand injured, with SUVs and cars doing most of the harm, according to the local rollup in Open Data. Pedestrians are hit most often by sedans and SUVs.
Three corners. One fix.
Hotspots repeat. Webster Avenue. E 168th Street. Grand Concourse. Fixes are not exotic: daylighting to clear sight lines; hardened turns and leading pedestrian intervals to slow cars at the crosswalk; traffic‑calming where drivers race the light. Nighttime is deadly here; target it.
Officials know what works — do they?
Albany renewed 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras through 2030, a tool proven to cut speeding. City leaders say the next step is lower speeds and stopping chronic speeders. That is already our fight. Sammy’s Law lets New York City set lower limits, and bills in Albany would force the worst repeat offenders to install speed limiters. The Senate bill is S 4045. It moved in June with yes votes from local Senators, per the official file.
Citywide changes sit on the table. The city can lower default limits. The state can require intelligent speed assistance for drivers who rack up violations. The tools exist. Lives do not come back.
Do one thing today
Two young men died on a parkway built for speed. The list is longer than this page. If you want it shorter, start here: take action.
