Two pedestrians were killed in separate hit-and-run collisions in south Sacramento County over the weekend, the California Highway Patrol said.

A female pedestrian was struck by an unknown vehicle about 7:50 p.m. Saturday on Florin Road just east of Highway 99, the CHP South Sacramento office said in a news release. Less than 12 hours later, just after 6 a.m. Sunday, a male pedestrian was struck by a different unknown vehicle on southbound Highway 99 near Grantline Road.

The victims were each pronounced dead at the scene by fire personnel. Their identities will be released by the coroner’s office pending notification of the families.
