A Queens man was run down in an overnight chain-reaction crash in Midtown, police say.
The accident happened at 2 a.m. today on East 26th Street between Lexington and Third Avenues.
Police say an unidentified 42-year-old man was driving a Nissan Pathfinder when his car slammed into a double-parked yellow cab, causing the cab to roll forward and strike Mir Hoosain, 35.
Hoosain died at the scene.
The crash's impact hurled the Pathfinder and taxi into three other parked cars, sending one of those drivers to the hospital in stable condition.
The Pathfinder remained at the scene hours later, its front axle twisted, engine fluid and glass shards coating the road. Police are still investigating.
