A man has been killed and a woman left seriously injured after a "runaway" car hit them after rolling down a hill.
Police were called to a lane off Brynmill Crescent in Swansea after receiving reports two people had been injured.
A spokesman said: "Initial reports are that a vehicle has rolled down the street trapping a male and female underneath the vehicle.
"The female has been conveyed to hospital by air ambulance. The male sustained fatal injuries."
One witness, who saw the aftermath of the incident, said he had heard a woman screaming.
He said: "I came out my back garden and saw two people trapped under a car. The woman was screaming her head off. How the whole street didn't hear it, I don't know.
"I immediately rang 999 and told the operator they would need to get all the emergency services here. It looked very serious.
"Fair play to the emergency services, they were all here very quick.
"I don't know what happened but it looks like a tragic accident.
"The couple, who I'd say were in their sixties, had just come back from shopping when they were run over by their own car.
"It's awful, they were a lovely couple."
The area where the accident happened is home to many students in Swansea.
Local councillor Peter May said: "Looking at the scene, it appears that the vehicle must have run down a hill from a back lane just off Brynmill Crescent.
"The people in the street are naturally very shocked at what has happened. There is a lot of uncertainty as to whether it was someone known to us."
A dark blue Peugeot 406 was seen being taken away from the scene.
