A man has died following a road accident on Bronx River Parkway, police said.

 

An NYPD spokesperson said the incident occurred on Wednesday, Nov. 2, at around 10.24 p.m. when officers from the 52nd precinct responded to a 911 call regarding a motor vehicle collision. They said a pedestrian was struck on the Bronx River Parkway in the vicinity of Pelham Parkway (Exit 7E).

 

“Upon arrival, officers observed an unidentified adult male pedestrian, unconscious and unresponsive, lying on the roadway, with sustained head and body trauma,” the spokesperson said. “EMS responded to the location and pronounced the aided male deceased at the scene.”

 

Further investigation by the NYPD Highway District Collision Squad determined the mam had been standing in the left lane of traffic on the southbound Bronx River Parkway at Pelham Parkway when he was struck by a 2022 Mazda 3, driven by a 48-year-old man.

 

The driver remained at the scene and was not injured. There are no arrests, and the investigation remains ongoing.

 

In collision investigations, the NYPD handles all criminal aspects of the investigation, while NYC Department of Transportation reviews the street design at the locations of these incidents.
