Precinct 43: Night roads. Hard endings.
Precinct 43: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- Just after midnight on Aug. 11, a 21‑year‑old in a Mercedes tried to pass on the Bronx River Parkway and set off a chain crash. Two young riders were thrown and died. Police charged him with vehicular manslaughter and DWI, and he was released without bail, prosecutors still probing the case, according to Gothamist and the Daily News. The riders were identified as Manuel Amarantepenalo, 19, and Enrique Martinez, 21, per AMNY.
- A sister stood outside court and said, “Two people were killed. He was drunk.” Daily News.
The toll in Precinct 43 does not stop.
- A 75‑year‑old man crossing with the signal at White Plains Rd and Wood Ave was hit and killed by a left‑turning BMW SUV. The city crash report lists failure to yield and distraction. NYC Open Data.
- A 64‑year‑old man was killed at Castle Hill Ave and Bruckner Blvd. The report notes driver inattention. NYC Open Data.
Nights are the danger hours.
- Death spreads across the clock, but the spikes hit after dark: midnight, 1 a.m., 4 a.m., and the late‑day hours around 2–3 p.m. and 9–11 p.m. Within this precinct, fatalities cluster at those times. NYC Open Data.
Three corners. One fix.
- The worst repeat names here are Westchester Avenue, White Plains Road, and the Bruckner Expressway. Together they carry five recorded deaths in this period.
- Pedestrians take the hits: eight killed, 422 injured since 2022 in this precinct. SUVs and cars dominate the harm. NYC Open Data.
- The common threads in the official roll‑ups: “other” driver factors, vulnerable road user errors, inattention, alcohol, and unsafe speed. They add up to lives lost. NYC Open Data.
Concrete, not promises.
- Daylight every crosswalk on Westchester Ave and White Plains Rd. Harden the left turns. Give leading pedestrian intervals. Post crews to fix night‑time blind spots and broken lights at repeat locations. Target late‑night speeding and DWI on the parkways.
Officials know what works — do they?
- Albany renewed 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras through 2030. Use them. Expand them where the bodies are. Take Action.
- A small group of drivers does big harm. Research shows just 1.5% of motorists cause 21% of pedestrian deaths. The Stop Super Speeders bill would force repeat camera violators to use speed limiters. Details and contacts are in our action guide.
- City leaders now have the power under Sammy’s Law to set safer speeds. A 20 mph default saves lives. Call them. Push them. Details here: Take Action.
One family’s words stay.
- “Two people were killed. He was drunk.” Daily News.
This is Precinct 43. Slow the streets. Stop the killing.
