A 63-year-old crew member on the Starz show “Power” was fatally struck by an SUV while setting up traffic cones in Brooklyn early Monday, police said.

Pedro Jimenez was placing cones in the street when he was hit by a 2006 Ford Explorer about 4:20 a.m. on Douglass St. in Boerum Hill.

Jiminez, who lived in Inwood, was rushed to Brooklyn Hospital but could not be saved.

The 64-year-old driver remained at the scene. He faced no immediate charges.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of the members of our Power family,” a Starz spokesman said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with Mr. Jimenez’ family as we work to fully understand what has happened.”

The drama, executive produced by 50 Cent, stars Omari Hardwick, Naturi Naughton, Lela Loren and Joseph Sikora in a dark crime series about a ruthless drug dealer who wants to leave that life behind.
