Mousa Alijahmi, a freshman at the College of Staten Island, was working as a restaurant valet when he died Saturday afternoon.

Police say the 17-year-old student had just parked the minivan and stepped out when the vehicle started rolling — apparently because he had not put it in park.

As he ran behind it, the more than 3,000-pound van knocked him into a parked SUV, crushing him. The teen died at a hospital.

Alijahmi's family had immigrated to Brooklyn from Yemen.
