QUEENS — A 20-year-old Hunter College student died after slamming his Kawasaki motorcycle into the side of a Honda Accord in Murray Hill Wednesday afternoon, cops and the school said.

Kiyanoush Asif, a second-year student, was riding west on Northern Boulevard about 5:30 p.m. when the eastbound Honda made a left onto Murray Street and Asif crashed into the vehicle's passenger side, according to the NYPD. 

Asif sustained severe injuries and was rushed to Flushing Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said. 

The Honda's driver, a 54-year-old woman, remained on the scene and was not charged, cops said.
