A 9-year-old Brooklyn girl was fighting for her life yesterday after she was mowed down by a car whose driver fled the scene, cops said.

Moments after Nacirema Brown was struck, the driver of the tan Nissan Maxima allegedly stopped briefly - only to berate the broken girl before driving off, witnesses said.

"The man jumped out of the car and said, 'You stupid little bitch!' and drove off, Dakema Brown, 30, the little girl's mom, said witnesses told her.

Cops said Nacirema, was running across Rockaway Ave. near Glenmore Ave. in Brownsville when she was struck at about 8:45 p.m. Saturday.

Her mother said Nacirema was in critical condition at Brookdale Hospital with massive head injuries.

The Nissan was later found on Park Pl. between East New York Ave. and Boyland St. Cops were hunting for the driver yesterday.

Brown said her daughter was with two cousins when she dashed off.

She described her daughter as a brilliant student at P.S. 298 where she was about to enter the 5th grade and an active singer in her church choir.

She was praying Nacirema - whose name is American spelled backwards - would survive.

"The doctors are saying there's a fifty percent chance for my baby to live," said Brown, haltingly.
