Two people were hit June 10, 2020, at Wehrli and Hobson roads in Naperville.

A man and woman in their 70s were struck and killed Wednesday by a pickup truck in west suburban Naperville.

A 64-year-old Naperville woman was driving a Toyota Tundra north on Wehrli Road about 6 p.m. when she turned left on Hobson Road and struck the pair in a crosswalk, Naperville police said in a statement.

The pedestrians, 77-year-old Liangchao Lin and 71-year-old Lee Lin, both died at hospitals after the crash, according to DuPage County Coroner Richard Jorgensen. They both lived in Naperville.

The intersection was shut down until 8:15 p.m. for an investigation by the Naperville Traffic Unit, police said. An investigation is ongoing.

No charges have been filed, police said Thursday morning.
