A man was fatally struck by two cars when he tripped over a roadway median in Queens on New Year’s Day, cops said. 

The unidentified pedestrian — believed to be between 60 and 65 years old — was crossing Woodhaven Boulevard near the 91st Street intersection in Woodhaven around 6:50 a.m. Monday when he stumbled on the median and fell into the southbound lanes, police said. 

While on the ground, he was struck by a 2002 Toyota driven by a 78-year-old man, cops said. 

The impact flung him into the northbound lanes, where he was then struck by a 2008 Jeep driven by a 51-year-old man, authorities said. 

The pedestrian was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. 

The drivers of both cars stayed at the scene, and no arrests have been made. 

The investigation is ongoing by the NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad.
