Two senior citizens were hospitalized after being struck Sunday night by a car on Kaahumanu Street near Waiau District Park, Honolulu police said.

At about 8:55 p.m., a 23-year-old man driving north on Kaahumanu Street struck a man, 75, and woman, 81, who were crossing the road together, according to a police report.

Honolulu Emergency Medical Services transported the couple to a hospital in serious condition. The woman’s condition was later downgraded to critical.
