Hialeah police have arrested a driver who struck and killed two pedestrians who were crossing a street Sunday night, authorities confirmed Monday.
The hit-and-run crash was reported around 7 p.m. in the area of East Eighth Avenue and 47th Street.
Local 10's Hannah Yechivi spoke to family members and neighbors Monday of the elderly couple who were killed.
They said the couple was just going down the street to a convenience store to buy a Lottery ticket, but never made it home.
With tears in his eyes, Jorge Luis Alonso said his in-laws -- 87-year-old Julio Hernandez and 84-year-old Manuela Hernandez -- were hit and killed by an SUV as they crossed the street.
