BROOKLYN — A young man was killed and two others seriously injured in a horrific head-on crash in Sheepshead Bay Saturday night, police said.

According to cops, a 26-year-old man was driving a BMW M6 south on Ocean Parkway at 11:45 p.m. when he lost control at Avenue X.

The luxury car careened into the divider and then crossed into oncoming traffic where it struck a Ford Windstar mini-van.

The van driver, Jamal Iqual, 23, was rushed to Coney Island Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The driver of the Mercedes was taken to Kings County Hospital where he was listed in stable condition, police said.

His passenger, a 30-year-old woman, was taken to Lutheran Hospital, where she was also listed in stable condition.

No arrests have been made and police said there was no apparent criminality.
