Lewis was not immediately certain which of the victims was in critical condition, saying details were developing as the investigation got under way.
The accident occurred when a Toyota Celica traveling southbound on Dixie Drive rear-ended a Subaru, causing that vehicle to careen off the right side and striking the man and woman, who were on a sidewalk.
Both drivers sustained minor injuries that were treated at the scene.
No citations were issued, but investigators reportedly were looking into whether the Toyota’s driver may have been distracted at the time of a crash, possibly by a cellphone.
