An unidentified man died after being hit by two drivers in Hollis earlier this week.

On Tuesday, Sept. 1, around 7:45 p.m., the man was crossing Jamaica Avenue, near 201st Street, against the pedestrian traffic signal, when the 33-year-old driver of a 2015 Honda Accord struck him with the right side of his car, according to police.

After being hit, the man fell and rolled into the right lane of traffic, where he was run over by the 25-year-old driver of a 2009 Nissan Murano, cops said.

EMS personnel arrived to find the man lying in the road with trauma to his body. He was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Queens, where he was pronounced dead, according to the NYPD.

Both drivers, neither of whom were injured, remained at the scene, according to the police. The pedestrian did not have any form of identification on him at the time of the crash and has yet to be identified, according to the authorities.

No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
