A BICYCLIST died after being struck by a yellow cab near the Midtown Tunnel, police said Saturday.

Amaury Pena, 42, was riding west on E. 39th St. when he blew through a red light at Tunnel Exit St. about 8:20 a.m. April 16, witnesses told cops. A cab headed north on Tunnel Exit St. slammed into him.

Medics rushed Pena, who lived in the Bronx, to Bellevue Hospital. He clung to life for nine days before dying Wednesday, cops said.

The 58-year-old cabbie remained at the scene. No charges are expected to be filed.
