A 5-year-old boy was killed yesterday by a hit-and-run driver, authorities said.

Jordan McLean was in a car with his mom and aunt just before 1 a.m. when they were broadsided by a speeding BMW at the corner of 109th Avenue and 164th Place in Queens, police said.

Witnesses said Jordan was thrown from the car, crashed into a wall, and was pinned by his aunt's SUV.

"He got hit so hard he came out of his clothes," said witness Roosevelt Watson, 34, who, with the help of three other men, lifted the vehicle off of Jordan.

Neighbors said the intersection is a notoriously popular spot for dragsters.
