QUEENS — A Flushing pediatrician was struck and killed by a Mercedes Benz outside New York Hospital Queens Monday night, police said.

Dr. Siu Lee, 55, was crossing Booth Memorial Avenue when the westbound Mercedes hit him near 141st Street about 6:15 p.m., the NYPD said.

Lee was rushed into the hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.

The Mercedes' driver, a 23-year-old man, remained on the scene and was not charged in the crash, an NYPD spokesman said.

Lee studied at the Yonsei University College of Medicine in South Korea, according to his profile on the New York Hospital Website.
