Car crash kills Fox Lane student, injures another

Updated: Jul 2, 2024

One male teen was killed and another critically injured in an early morning single-car accident Tuesday, June 18, at the intersection of Bedford Road and Edna Street, Bedford Hills. The collision was reported at 2:27 a.m. Both victims were students at Fox Lane High School.

According to Bedford Police, the car was traveling northbound on Bedford Road likely at a high speed and wound up in the JV Auto parking lot; several cars parked in the lot were damaged as a result.

On police arrival, both young men were found trapped inside the car. Bedford Police Officers Jordan Baschnagel and Ronald Sauber extricated them prior to firefighters’ arrival. Westchester Emergency Medical Services and Katonah Bedford Hills Volunteer Ambulance Corps were on scene to provide medical attention and evaluation. Both victims were taken to Westchester Medical Center

The driver, who was transported by KBHVAC, was found in critical condition and succumbed to his injuries. He was later identified as Joshua Martinez Arana, 18, from Mount Kisco. He died just two days before his planned high school graduation.

The passenger was transported by Westchester EMS. He was last reported in critical condition, although initially his injuries were said to be minor.

The passenger, identified as Matthew Gutierrez, was also a Fox Lane senior at the time of the crash.

Robert Glass, superintendent of the Bedford Central School District, on June 18 sent a letter to parents regarding the incident and identified Martinez Arana as the deceased victim.

“Our hearts go out to Josh’s family and this loss is sure to raise many emotions for our entire community, especially our students,” Glass wrote. “Please know that our district crisis team is mobilized with help from clinicians in neighboring districts, and we are providing assistance for any students or staff who need it during this difficult time.”
