A 12-year-old girl was hospitalized with severe head injuries Saturday after she was struck by a car in Brooklyn, officials said.

The child was playing with a friend on 59th St. near 12th Ave. in Borough Park at about 5:30 p.m. when she darted into the street — and into the path of a Honda Accord, cops said.

The child, an Orthodox Jew, had stepped out from between two parked cars when she was struck, police sources said.

Hours after four young people were killed in a deadly Queens crash, a second car carrying a group of friends swerved off a nearby road and also plunged into the water — but in this case, all escaped with their lives. The accident happened Saturday at around 4 a.m. on 20th Avenue and Shore Boulevard — just a mile from the fatal accident that killed the foursome of childhood friends. As the five pals reached the edge of 20th Avenue, the driver lost control of the 2010 Toyota — which hit a metal fence and overturned into the East River, sources said.
