A speeding driver was thrown from his car and killed in Manhattan early Sunday after a crash that left his vehicle a mangled mess.
The victim lost control of his Nissan Maxima at around 3 a.m. and slammed into a median on the West Side Highway, cops said.
The 30-year-old driver flipped his car onto its hood and was ejected onto the pavement, according to police. He was rushed to Roosevelt Hospital, where he died.
The police were withholding the victim’s name, pending family notification.
Cops said there were no other vehicles involved in the crash and that the cause has not yet been determined.
A witness said it appeared the car had been speeding — at an estimated 100 mph — before the deadly crash.
All that was left of the Maxima early Sunday morning was a heap of twisted metal.
The high-speed accident comes just days after cops arrested a speed demon who posted a YouTube video of himself driving a loop around Manhattan in record-setting time.
Adam Tang was charged with reckless endangerment Friday after a stunt that took his blue BMW Z4 roadster around the borough in 24 minutes and seven seconds — an average speed of 66 mph. Cops tracked down the vehicle outside his Harlem apartment, according to law-enforcement sources.
After his arrest, Tang even bragged to cops about other exploits, including the claim that he once covered 4,000 miles in 38 hours, according to prosecutors.
Earlier this month, four young people died when a fast-car enthusiast crashed his rented Volkswagen into the base of a highway overpass in Westchester,
Bruno Vaccarezza, 19, of Cos Cob, Conn., wrecked his car on the Sprain Brook Parkway on Sept. 1, killing himself and his three young friends.
A neighbor said Vaccarezza was learning to “tune” cars in order to make them go faster.
The young speedster had crashed his Mini Cooper just weeks earlier — after which his doting father promptly rented the Volkswagen Golf to replace the wrecked vehicle.
