Two pedestrians were killed and a third injured Friday night after they were struck by vehicles in separate accidents occurring moments apart.

The driver of the car was not charged.

The third accident also occurred about 8:30 p.m., police said. Police said an unidentified man was struck by a car and the driver fled.

Police Cmdr. S.K. Newby said the victim was taken to Lynchburg General Hospital with minor injuries. Police said they wanted to question the driver of a green El Camino in that incident.
