A man was killed and a woman was critically injured Sunday evening after they were struck by a car in front of a grocery store just north of the University of Texas, police said.
The car was traveling south on Guadalupe Street at about 7 p.m. when it collided with another vehicle and hit the man and woman who were standing outside the Wheatsville Food Co-op on the east side of Guadalupe near West 31st Street. The car then crashed into a pole supporting the sign for Four Sons' Quality Cleaners a block south, police said.
The driver of the vehicle, a woman, was being questioned by investigators and was not identified.
The man and woman were taken to University Medical Center Brackenridge. Police said the man was born in 1950 but did not identify him. They also did not identify the woman.
All lanes of Guadalupe between 30th and 32nd streets were closed for several hours Sunday night as police investigated the incident.
