A hero dad died last night saving his 6-year-old son from a speeding hit-and-run driver who left a trail of destruction on a Bronx street after a fight with his wife at a Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant, police said.

“The boy kept crying, ‘Daddy! Daddy, what happened?’” said witness Sam Alhadis, 16, who works at a nearby deli.
