BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — A 55-year-old man who was hit by a car crossing the street in Bed-Stuy died in the hospital two days later, police said Thursday.

Police found the man, who has not been identified, lying in the road near Rockaway Avenue and Somers Street just before 7 p.m. on Saturday. He was rushed to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition, but succumbed to his injuries two days later, police said.
