Two men were killed and three others critically injured in Upper Manhattan on Friday after a driver plowed into multiple parked cars and hopped a curb, cops said.

The motorist, 61, was heading northbound near Amsterdam Avenue and West 109th Street in Morningside Heights when he lost control of a black Mercedes-Benz at around 6 p.m., according to the NYPD.

The driver barreled into two parked cars – a gray Volkswagen and a brown minivan – before striking a group of pedestrians on the sidewalk.

Police believe the crash was not intentional.

Two of the five men, ages 35 and 46, were killed.

A damaged tan van with its bumper detached from a collision and a black SUV on a street cordoned off by yellow tape.
