Man falls off scooter in Queens, fatally run over by passing driver

A 46-year-old man fell off his scooter in Queens and was then fatally run over by a passing driver, police said Tuesday.

Hamdan Almatare was zipping down Hamilton Place in Maspeth when he lost control near Borden Ave. just off the Long Island Expressway and fell off his scooter about 11 p.m. Monday, cops said.

A passing driver ran over Almatare as he lay on the roadway, horrified witnesses told police. The driver did not stop. It wasn’t immediately clear if the driver knew they hit someone.

Medics rushed Almatare to Elmhurst Hospital, where he died. He was just a few blocks from home when he crashed.

Cops were working to track down the driver.
