SEATTLE — Police say a pickup truck driver crashed into four pedestrians crossing a Seattle street, killing two and critically injuring two others _ a woman and the infant she was carrying.

Seattle police spokesman Jeff Kappel says the driver, a 50-year-old Seattle man, may have been under the influence of alcohol or drugs. He was booked into jail Monday night for investigation of vehicular homicide.

Kappel says a 66-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman died at the scene Monday in a north Seattle residential neighborhood.

The spokesman says a 33-year-old woman and a 10-day-old infant were hospitalized at Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
