I mean...Geraldo Rivera....is calling for the family of the family members who crashed off of the Bronx River Pkwy to sue the city.

If you haven't heard, a woman in an SUV, with six other members of her family in the truck, was driving 68 mph in a 40 mph zone somehow hit the median, blew out a tire and then flipped the truck over the guardrail and the truck fell 60 feet killing them all.

I have driven that exact stretch of road hundreds of times (used to be my daily commute, then lived two exits down for 4 years.  68 in that area is like 95 on any other road.  The lanes are verrrry narrow, it's on an incline to 60 feet up, and the road surface absolutely SUCKS with potholes, patches, and waves in the asphalt. 

Yup, it's the city's fault.   uglystupid2

if you are  talking about the stretch between the highway 1 precinct and the E 170 St (cross bronx) exit dont forget those BIG EXPANSION joints that you have  to take your butt off  the seat before you hit em when on the bike.

Darwin rules again    50 is plenty fast for that stretch.  

No matter what language you speak 50 is still 50


A drunk totalled my 89 corolla northbound just at the fordham road exit when he lost control at about that speed back in 2002.
