NEW YORK

 A woman struck and killed by a cab on the Upper East Side was left to die in the roadway by not one but two cab drivers who fled the scene, police said early Thursday.

Before she was hit, the victim opened the rear passenger door and spilled out of a 2015 Toyota Camry yellow taxi heading south on Lexington Ave. between E. 69th and E. 68th streets around 5:05 a.m. Wednesday, according to authorities.
Cops initially thought she stepped out from between two parked vehicles.

The cabbie, Azizur Mazumder, 46, continued south on Lexington Ave., leaving his fallen passenger behind, according to cops.

Moments after her fall, a second yellow cab heading downtown on Lexington Ave. ran over the woman and drove off east on E. 68th St., cops said.

Medics rushed the victim to New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, where she died Wednesday morning.
