A 56-year-old man is dead following a terrifying hit-and-run crash in Queens. Now police are searching for two women who fled the scene.

It happened in the Flushing section around midnight Tuesday.

The Honda was apparently traveling southbound on Kissena Boulevard when it collided with the truck, which was traveling westbound on Horace Harding Expressway.

Area residents told Eyewitness News that the crash was shocking.

"That's really surprising. I take this highway to work so it's just really surprising," a resident said.

Both vehicles jumped the curb. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Meanwhile, the driver of the Honda is recovering at New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital.
