A man trying to cross Brooklyn’s busy Eastern Parkway midblock was fatally struck by a Mercedes-Benz driver, cops said Tuesday.

The victim was attempting to cross the six-lane roadway outside the crosswalk when a westbound 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL 550 slammed into him near Franklin Ave. about 9 p.m. on Monday, cops said.

The man struck his head as he hit the ground, police said. Medics rushed him to Kings County Hospital, but he couldn’t be saved.

The victim, believed to be in his mid-40s, had no identification on him and cops were working to determine his identity.

The 41-year-old woman driving the Mercedes remained at the scene. No charges were immediately filed.
