The 17-year-old driver of an out-of-control Tesla jumped a curb and fatally struck an elderly pedestrian — before injuring another man sitting on a bench in Brooklyn, cops said.

The teen driver was speeding north on Ocean Parkway around 10:20 p.m. Wednesday when he lost control and mounted the sidewalk at the intersection of Avenue M in Midwood, striking 76-year-old Milorad Rajacic, police said.

The motorist also rammed into a city Department of Transportation traffic signal pole at the same corner before he continued driving on the sidewalk, cops said.
