A Queens man was killed after his motorcycle slammed into a Porsche on the Long Island Expressway early Monday, cops said.

Richard Diaz, 31, was riding along the lower level of the highway on his 2014 Yamaha motorcycle when he suddenly lost control near 58th Street, rear-ending a 2013 Porsche Cayenne around 12:15 a.m., police said.

Officers found Diaz lying on the roadway unconscious, with trauma to his neck and body.

Diaz, of Sunnyside, was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Porsche driver, a 36-year-old man, was not injured and stayed on the scene.

Police continued to investigate the crash Monday morning.
