A woman was killed after being stuck by a taxi in Manhattan this morning, police said.

The victim was at the corner of Third Avenue and East 27th Street around 1:50 a.m., when the cab, a 2011 Ford Escape, was traveling northbound on Third Avenue, police said.

A 2010 Honda four-door pulled out of a parking lot and struck the rear of the taxi, sending it careening onto the sidewalk, cops said.

The cab slammed into the victim, who suffered severe leg trauma and massive bleeding, officials said.

The woman was taken to Bellevue, where she was pronounced dead.

The driver remained at the scene and no criminality is suspected, according to police.

The victim’s name and age were not released.
