Bronx River Parkway took two young riders. The map says it wasn’t a fluke.
Williamsbridge-Olinville: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Two men went down on the Bronx River Parkway. Manuel Amarantepenalo, 19. Enrique Martinez, 21. Police say a 21‑year‑old in a 2019 Mercedes tried to pass, hit a Volkswagen, then struck the riders. Both were thrown and died. Prosecutors charged him with vehicular manslaughter and DWI. “He had a strong odor of alcohol,” a complaint says. He refused a chemical test. Gothamist reported it. A sister stood outside court and said, “Two people were killed. He was drunk.” The Daily News had her words.
It happened near Gun Hill Road in the dark hour after midnight. The southbound lanes closed. Police said both riders were ejected. The numbers for this neighborhood say nights are brutal: injuries spike around midnight, 1 a.m., and again late evening. In the last three years here, the hours around 12 a.m., 9 p.m., and 10 p.m. carry the worst death counts. City data show it.
This is Williamsbridge–Olinville. Since 2022, ten people are dead. Six were walking. One was on a bike. Three were inside cars. Parkways and wide roads come up again and again. The Bronx River Parkway shows two deaths and 126 injuries. White Plains Road shows two deaths and 27 injuries. Bronxwood Avenue shows three deaths.
On East 229th at Bronxwood, a 64‑year‑old man crossed with the signal. A left‑turning flatbed truck hit him and killed him. The factor on the report reads: failure to yield. The record is here. On East 233rd at Webster, a 24‑year‑old bicyclist was crushed between a sedan and an SUV. He died in the road. That report is here.
Street by street, the city ledger fills with blunt causes: failure to yield. Inattention. Aggressive driving. A bucket labeled “other” covers most of the deaths. Pedestrians take the worst of it: six dead, 178 hurt. The neighborhood roll‑up shows this.
Nights are long; sirens carry
The midnight hour in this map bleeds. Two deaths, 40 injuries around 12 a.m. Another death at 9 p.m. Two more at 10 p.m. The after‑work rush hurts too: injuries stack up from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. The hourly breakdown shows the peaks.
Parkways encourage speed. Local arteries do the rest. Bronx River Parkway. White Plains Road. East Gun Hill Road. People outside cars lose.
Corners that don’t forgive
Two places top the danger list here: E 216th Street and Bronxwood Avenue. Eleven injuries at E 216th, including four serious. Three deaths tied to Bronxwood. The patterns point to turning cars and blocked sightlines. Failure to yield is named in fatal files. See the crash records.
Fixes are not mysteries. Daylight the corners. Give walkers a few seconds head start at lights. Harden left turns so trucks must take them slow. Calming Bronxwood and White Plains with less width and lower speeds would save lives. Target nights. The city’s own intervention notes say it: nighttime conditions and repeat hotspots.
The worst drivers keep finding us
A small slice of drivers do outsized harm. Lawmakers in Albany have a bill to stop them. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force repeat violators to install speed‑limiters after a pattern of tickets or points. Senator Jamaal Bailey voted yes in committee. The bill file is here. The Senate moved it on June 11 and 12. Vote records show the yes votes.
Speed itself is policy. New York now has the power to set lower limits, block by block or citywide. Advocates say use it. A 20 mph default would blunt the edge of crashes like the ones on Bronxwood and White Plains. The law to allow this passed after years of delay. The choice to act sits at City Hall.
The sister’s question still hangs in the air at the Bronx courthouse steps. “Two people were killed. He was drunk.” Her quote lives here. The rest is on the city to answer.
What can end the pattern
- Daylight and protected crossings at Bronxwood, White Plains, and E 216th. Harden left turns at the fatal corners named in the files. Crash data supports the sites.
- Night enforcement and calming on the Bronx River Parkway approaches and Gun Hill Road. The worst hours are clear. See the hourly spikes.
- Citywide moves that change the odds: lower the default speed limit and pass the speed‑limiter bill now moving in Albany. Bill S4045.

DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez called the expanded enforcement 'a highly effective tool to keep New Yorkers safe.' Key corridors saw dramatic reductions: 96 percent on Houston Street, 74 percent on North Conduit Boulevard, 68 percent on Bruckner Boulevard. Injuries fell at high-crash sites—45 percent on Tremont Avenue, 33 percent on Kings Highway, 16 percent on Queens Boulevard, 19 percent on Hylan Boulevard.

Heastie Opposes City Control Over Speed Limits Safety Boosting▸Aug 28 - Speed cameras now run all day in New York. Violations dropped 30 percent in a year. Streets once deadly see fewer crashes. But injuries still rise for cyclists. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie stands against city control of speed limits. The fight continues.
This policy outcome report, published August 28, 2023, covers the first year of 24/7 speed camera enforcement in New York City. The Department of Transportation reports a 30 percent drop in violations since cameras began operating around the clock on August 1, 2022. The report states, 'Success: Drivers are Slowing Down on Streets with 24/7 Speed Cameras.' Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie is mentioned for opposing city control over speed limits, a move sought by Families for Safe Streets after continued traffic deaths and injuries.

The expanded camera program replaced limited weekday enforcement, shifting the burden from NYPD to automated systems. The data shows cameras work, but the fight for safer streets—especially for cyclists—remains unfinished.

Heastie Supports Safety Boosting Fare Free Bus Pilot▸Jul 17 - MTA will drop fares on five city bus lines for up to a year. Riders on Bx18, B60, M116, Q4, and S46/96 ride free. The move aims to boost access and equity. Lawmakers and advocates pushed for more. The pilot starts September 24.
"This pilot program will help thousands of New Yorkers who rely on buses to get to work, to school, to get to medical appoints and more. It was a priority for many of my Assembly Majority colleagues, and we look forward to seeing how it impacts our communities." -- Carl Heastie
On July 17, 2023, the MTA announced a fare-free bus pilot covering five routes: Bx18 (Bronx), B60 (Brooklyn), M116 (Manhattan), Q4 (Queens), and S46/96 (Staten Island). The program, part of the state budget, begins September 24 and will last six to twelve months. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, representing District 83, highlighted the benefit to thousands who rely on buses for work, school, and medical needs. The pilot waives fares to expand access and improve transit equity, as stated: 'By establishing these fare-free bus pilot routes, we are expanding access to public transportation across the city and improving transit equity to better serve all New Yorkers.' Advocates wanted all buses free, but the plan was scaled back in budget talks. The MTA will review impacts on ridership, service, and costs after six months.
