An elderly couple is in critical condition after a driver struck them near the intersection of Surf Avenue and W. 27th Street in Coney Island on Oct. 8.

The 78-year-old man and woman were crossing the avenue when a driver travelling eastbound hit the pair at 6:13 pm, police said.

The couple was not crossing in a crosswalk, a police report noted.
