A livery cab plowed through a Brooklyn intersection and fatally struck a pedestrian yesterday before the driver took off, police said.

The Lincoln Town car was traveling west on Highland Boulevard when it hit a man crossing at Vermont Place in East New York at around 3 p.m. Police said the vehicle kept going. The pedestrian, whose identity was withheld, was pronounced dead on arrival at Brookdale Hospital.

Witnesses said the car had a sticker on it from a local car service. Cops visited the company, trying to pinpoint the car involved.

No arrests were made as of late last night.
