Police say a man and woman were
coming out of the parking lot of
Parker's Seafood in a Honda C-R-V when
they were hit by a G-M-C Yukon.

The couple was pronounced dead at
the scene, but the driver of the Yukon
did not need medical attention.

No charges have been filed, but
the wreck is still under investigation.

Both southbound lanes of Peter's

Cowher has been the Steelers'
head coach for 15 seasons, but many
have believed 2006 would be it for him
after he and his wife purchased a home
in Raleigh, North Carolina last year.

He had one year left on his
current contract, and both Cowher and
the Steelers agreed yesterday that they
would make a formal annoucement by next
Tuesday.

Word is that the retirement will
come on Monday back in Pittsburgh.
