A 5-year-old boy was killed after he ran out into a Queens street and was struck by a vehicle, according to police.
The child was hit around 6:06 pm in front of 20-19 124th St. in College Point near the Poppenhusen Playground, cops said.
The boy “ran into the roadway” when a 2008 Honda CRV traveling southbound on 124th Street smashed into him, police said.
“I just saw the little kid under the car. He was blue. He was bleeding,” a witness, who gave his name only as Rob, told The Post.
He suffered injuries to his head and was taken to Jacobi hospital where he died, according to police.

Rob said the boy was coming from the park and wasn’t with a parent when he ran out into the road.
“The lady [driver] wasn’t speeding or nothing. The kid was so small and he just comes out from between the car,” Rob said.
The “hysterical” driver immediately stopped the car, got out and began yelling for help, Rob said.
The 5-year-old’s parents were “devastated,” when they arrived, he added.
