A man was hit and killed by an SUV driver in Tribeca early Wednesday, police said.
The victim was crossing Canal St. at Lafayette St. just before 5 a.m. when the driver of a dark-colored SUV plowed into him and kept going, cops said.
Medics found the victim sprawled out on the asphalt suffering from extensive injuries to his head and body. He was rushed to Bellevue Hospital but couldn’t be saved.
The victim, believed to be in his 30s, wasn’t carrying ID and police are working to determine his identity.
Cops were scouring the area for the SUV Wednesday. No arrests have been made.
Several hours later in Queens, a 63-year-old woman riding an electric scooter was fatally struck by a Honda CR-V driver, cops said.
The victim was zipping west along College Point Blvd. near Blossom Ave. in Flushing around 10 a.m. when she was struck.
The SUV driver was also headed west on College Point Blvd. but hit the scooter rider while turning off the heavily traveled thoroughfare, cops said.
The scooter rider was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Queens, where she died. Her name was not immediately released.
The 41-year-old woman driving the Honda remained at the scene. No charges were immediately filed.
