A man who was trying to cross a Brooklyn street Sunday morning was killed when he was struck by two cars – with both drivers fleeing the scene, cops said.

The 61-year-old was crossing Washington Avenue at Dean Street in Prospect Heights around 2:15 a.m. when a driver traveling north on Washington hit him, cops said.

Then, a second vehicle that was traveling south on the avenue struck him as he was lying in the street, cops said.
