Cops are searching for a hit-and-run SUV driver who killed a 60-year-old man crossing a street early yesterday in Brooklyn’s Brighton Beach.

Morris Freidman was crossing Brighton Beach Avenue near Brighton Fourth Street shortly before 1:30 a.m. when an eastbound, black Ford Explorer barreled into him and then took off, officials said.

Moments later, a Lincoln Town Car struck Freidman and dragged him a short distance before the driver realized something was wrong, cops said. The Lincoln driver got out, saw the victim and called police.

That driver stayed until police arrived, and took a breath test that showed no presence of alcohol.

The Lincoln driver was not charged.

Freidman, who cops said was homeless, was rushed to Coney Island Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
