DNA TESTS IN QUEENS HIT-AND-RUN

Police are conducting DNA tests on pieces of human flesh found on the black SUV that may have been involved in the bizarre death of a Queens teenager who died after being run over by three cars last week.

DNA tests will determine if the remains taken from the exterior of the impounded vehicle are that of Natalie Guzman, 18, who was killed last Sunday as she crossed Roosevelt Avenue in Corona.

“There was a finding of human flesh on a vehicle . . . The DNA is being tested and the investigation is continuing,” said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.

On Thursday, detectives picked up and questioned the SUV’s driver, who admitted to cops he had been drinking in several bars near where the killing occurred, but denied running over Guzman, law-enforcement sources said.

Cops released the man after questioning, pending the DNA outcome. If the human remains match that of the victim, the man could face criminal charges.

The driver was found after a livery driver saw the SUV strike Guzman and then radioed another livery driver to follow the car. That driver copied down the license-plate number and called cops.
