BROOKLYN — A 58-year-old man was struck by two vehicles and killed in Coney Island late Thursday — and cops are hunting the second vehicle, which fled the scene, police said.

The victim was crossing Coney Island Avenue and Avenue K about 10:15 p.m. when he was hit by a gray van, police said. Then a light-colored car crashed into him, they said.

The man, who was not identified pending family notification, was rushed to Coney Island Hospital, where he died.

The driver of the van, an unidentified 43-year-old man, remained at the scene and was not charged, police said.

A description of the second vehicle was not provided by police. The investigation is ongoing.
