Two men — one who flatlined at the scene but was brought back to life — are in critical condition after their speeding car collided with a truck in Murray Hill early Wednesday, police said.

The horrific wreck happened just after 2 a.m. at the intersection Third Avenue and E. 34th Street and left the men’s Honda Civic a heap of crumpled metal.

It’s believed the driver of the Civic was burning rubber north on Third and blew several red lights prior to the accident.

As the car was flying through the intersection of E. 34th St., it was T-boned by the massive Department of Transportation truck and became partially lodged under the rig.

The impact caused one of the vehicles to strike a yellow cab as the hack was idling in front of a building near the corner.

The two men in the Civic were rushed to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition.

The driver, identified by cops as Antonios Sikolas, 25, was later charged with vehicular assault, DWI and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.

“[Sikolas] disobeyed a steady red light at a high rate of speed and was impaired by alcohol or unknown drugs,” police said.

At Bellevue, cops said they discovered that Sikolas “smelled strongly of alcohol” and determined that he was drunk.

“He had a suspended license and a warrant for failing to appeal for a previous suspension,” a police source told The Post.

Police said one of the men went into cardiac arrest but doctors managed to revive him at the hospital.

The drivers of the truck and the cab were treated for minor injuries at Bellevue.
