Emergency personnel were called to the northbound Bronx River Parkway at East 236 Street, at 12:20 a.m. on Friday, February 17.
Officials say the car struck the highway divider with such force that the vehicle went airborne over an embankment at struck a tree.
Speaking off the record, one official hinted that the driver may have been drag racing along the winding curves of Exit 10, the site of several fatal crashes.
Just past Exit 10 where the crash took place, the highway becomes slightly elevated.
Police identified the driver of the white Mercedes Benz sedan as Dayan Hunter, 47, of the Bronx. Also killed was his passenger and brother Dave Hunter, 44, of Yonkers. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police shut down the highway for five-hours as police had to remove the victims and then remove the vehicle, which was wrapped around the tree. The vehicle was then carried away on a flatbed truck for further investigation.
Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.
On May 16, 2010 a crash at the East 233 Street exit claimed the lives of Edwin Paulino, 25, and Hoyoung Kim, 32, two off-duty police officers with the NYPD.
