Two young riders dead on the parkway. The toll keeps climbing in Precinct 48.
Precinct 48: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- Just after midnight, a 21‑year‑old in a Mercedes tried to pass on the Bronx River Parkway. He hit a Volkswagen, then two bikes. Both riders were thrown. Both died. Police named them: Manuel Amarantepenalo, 19, and Enrique Martinez, 21. Prosecutors charged the driver with vehicular manslaughter and DWI, according to Gothamist and amNY.
- “A drunken BMW driver fatally struck two motorcyclists,” police told the Daily News.
- Outside court, a sister asked, “He’s just walking freely? Two people were killed. He was drunk.” (Daily News)
The southbound lanes closed by Gun Hill. Two families went to hospitals and came back with nothing. (Gothamist)
Three corridors. Too many bodies.
- East Tremont Avenue. Southern Boulevard. East Fordham Road. These are the top trouble spots in Precinct 48. Since 2022, East Tremont has seen one death and 152 injuries. Southern Boulevard, three deaths and 48 injuries. East Fordham Road, one death and 103 injuries. (NYC Open Data)
- Pedestrians have paid most. Since 2022: 3 pedestrians killed and 358 injured here. Riders on bikes and small motos: 229 hurt, 2 killed. (NYC Open Data)
- SUVs and cars hit the most people on foot: at least 112 pedestrian casualties tied to SUVs alone, including 2 deaths. (NYC Open Data)
The clock tells the story too. Injuries spike late afternoon into night. Deaths bunch at 11 a.m., noon, 1 p.m., 4 p.m., 6 p.m., 7 p.m., 10 p.m., and 11 p.m. There is no safe hour. (NYC Open Data)
Causes written in the logbook
- “Other” driver factors lead the harm here: 3 deaths, 539 injuries since 2022.
- “Vulnerable road user error” is logged in crashes too, with 3 deaths and 89 injuries, but people on foot and small wheels are the ones who die.
- Official tallies also cite inattention, failure to yield, lights run, alcohol, and unsafe speed. Each leaves a trail of hurt. (NYC Open Data)
Names in the ledger: a 69‑year‑old man killed by a flatbed on East Fordham Road, mid‑block. A child listed as “unconscious” and “killed” on East Tremont near E 177th. A 35‑year‑old on an e‑bike dead at Park Ave and E 183rd after a sedan disregarded traffic control. The database speaks in boxes: “crush injuries,” “ejected,” “apparent death.” (CrashID 4652464, CrashID 4611711, CrashID 4703164)
Three corners. One fix.
Start where the blood runs:
- East Tremont Avenue. Daylight the crosswalks. Harden the turns.
- Southern Boulevard. Build refuge islands and slow entries.
- East Fordham Road. Protect the bus lane. Protect the bike. Guard the median.
City can target repeat hotspots. That is in the data. (NYC Open Data)
Officials know what works — do they?
Albany unlocked the city’s authority to lower speeds. The city can set slower limits. Advocates say use it. Make 20 mph the norm. Mandate speed limiters for the worst repeat offenders. The plan is laid out here: Take Action.
Speed cameras now run 24/7 through 2030, according to our campaign page. The next step is stopping the drivers who rack up tickets and keep going. (Take Action)
The losses in Precinct 48 are not a surprise. They are a pattern. They have addresses. They have hours. They have names. Lower the speed. Fix the turns. Stop the repeat offenders.
One call helps. Start here: Take Action.
