A man checking out a used car he was considering buying was crushed to death by the vehicle in a freak accident in Queens, police said Wednesday.
Michael Kosanovich, 21, was eyeing a 2002 Lexus at 148th St. and Foch Blvd. in South Jamaica when the owner inadvertently started the car’s remote ignition about 9:45 p.m. Saturday.
The car was not in park and when the remote was triggered it lurched forward, pinning Kosanovich between the luxury car and another parked Lexus, cops said.
Stunned witnesses were able to pull the running car off Kosanovich but then it rolled forward again, pinning him a second time.
EMTs rushed the victim, who lived in South Amboy, N.J., to Jamaica Hospital with massive leg and torso injuries but he could not be saved, officials said.
No charges were immediately filed as police continue to investigate.
