Two moped riders were killed on the Bronx River Parkway early Monday when a Mercedes driver slammed into them, police and law enforcement sources said.
The 2019 Mercedes C class sedan was traveling south in the left lane when it moved to the center lane and rear-ended a Volkswagen GTI, causing it to careen into a guardrail near East Gun Hill Road in the Bronx around 12:30 a.m., authorities said.
The Mercedes then plowed into two men, ages 21 and 23, who were thrown from their Fly Wing scooters, authorities said.
A large hole is seen in the windshield of one of the cars involved in the accident. Robert Mecea
