A hard-working Mexican immigrant was killed last week by a heartless hit-and-run driver who struck him near a Brooklyn intersection — leaving the man to die in the same way his father did four decades ago.
Felix Mendez, 49, of Lafayette Avenue, had been walking through the intersection of Lafayette and Bedford Avenue at about 3 a.m. on Thursday when a car struck him, according to the NYPD.
Instead of stopping, the driver continued north on Bedford — leaving behind a gravely-injured Mendez, cops said.
He was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in critical condition, and was later pronounced dead.
Alejandro Flores, Mendez’s 45-year-old friend and neighbor, told The Post that his pal died in eerily similar fashion to his father, who was killed in a hit-and-run in Mexico 40 years ago.
