An unidentified man was killed when he was struck by two cars and dragged along the roadway as he tried to cross the Belt Parkway near JFK Airport in Queens early Friday, cops said. 

The victim, who had no ID on him but is believed to be in his 40s, was crossing the parkway from north to south at 146th Street in Jamaica around 5:45 a.m. when he was struck by a gray 2023 Lincoln SUV, driven by a 52-year-old man in the westbound lanes, police said. 

He was then struck by another oncoming driver, a 45-year-old man in a gray Toyota four-door sedan — who dragged him for about 40 feet along the roadway, authorities said. 

That Toyota was then struck from behind by another motorist, a 24-year-old man in a black 2020 Hyundai four-door sedan, cops said. 

Officers responded to a 911 call about the crash and found the victim lying on the road with trauma to his body, police said. 

He was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries, cops said. 

All three drivers stayed at the scene and were not immediately expected to face charges.
