A Queens livery driver was fighting for his life Saturday after he was shot and robbed by a gun-toting passenger, police said.



Trevor Bell was at the end of his shift when he unwittingly agreed to take the gunman on a $12 ride to a dead-end street in South Ozone Park, cops said.

"He was a nice guy," said his boss Frank Favors at Big D Car Service.

The shooter arrived at the car service on Merrick Boulevard shortly before 9 p.m. Friday and negotiated the fare, cops said.

Bell drove the man to 122nd Street and Sutter Ave. where the passenger suddenly pulled out a gun and shot the driver at point-blank range.

As Bell slumped over in the front seat, blood pouring from a wound in his neck, the gunman dashed away from the still-running 2005 Chevy Impala.
