Detectives say the two were not in a designated crosswalk when a 2007 BMW was traveling northbound on North State Road 7 in the right thru lane and struck the pedestrians.
The vehicle continued northbound with significant damage to the windshield.
The male individual was pronounced deceased on scene. The female was transported to an area hospital where she underwent surgery for her injuries.
