The victim was identified by law enforcement sources as Mostafa Mirbahar of 89th Avenue in Jamaica.
Reportedly, the accident occurred just before 9 p.m. last Wednesday at the corner of Woodhaven Boulevard and Jamaica Avenue.

Paramedics rushed the victim to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
No charges were filed against the driver, and no criminality is suspected, authorities noted.
The NYPD Accident Investigation Squad is continuing its inquiry, police said.
