Waite got out of the Nissan and then was hit from behind by a gray 2002 Isuzu Rodeo SUV, police said.
Korowitz, of Melrose, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Waite and the Isuzu's driver were both treated for minor injuries, the NYPD said, and Waite was arrested for driving without a license.
