QUEENS He was crossing the Whitestone Expressway, apparently to go to Burger King, when he was struck.

Investigators say he was hit by as many as two vehicles and pronounced dead at the scene.

A second driver is believed to have left the scene.

The crash was witnessed by an MTA bus driver on the QM2A line. Officials say he called for help, but the guard could not be saved.
