Two pedestrians were struck by a car and killed Thanksgiving night in Oceanside, according to police.
Investigators believe the pedestrians were running across Oceanside Boulevard just west of Interstate 5 at around 8:30 p.m. when they were hit.
Oceanside officers were on the boulevard and came upon the accident, said Jennifer Atenza, an OPD spokeswoman.
The pedestrians were only identified as a man and woman both in their 40s.

The driver stopped at the scene and she was not suspected of being under the influence of alcohol, the Oceanside Police Department said. Because of nighttime conditions, the incident appears to have been accidental, Atenza said.
"This is tragic for everybody on all accounts," the spokeswoman said, urging residents to use crosswalks for their safety.
Oceanside Boulevard was closed between I-5 and Goat Hill Drive for several hours overnight.
