A speedster crashed his vehicle into a tree Tuesday in Queens – killing himself and his passenger, cops said.

The 28-year-old driver, from Queens, was driving on 164th Street and Booth Memorial Avenue in Fresh Meadows at a high rate of speed when he jumped the sidewalk and slammed into the tree about 1:30 a.m., authorities said.

He and his passenger – a 26-year-old Brooklyn man – were pronounced dead at the scene, cops said.

Their identities are pending family notification.

It wasn’t immediately clear if alcohol was a factor in the crash, cops said.
