Lexington Police say a man and a woman who were hit while crossing Versailles Road early Sunday morning were leaving the scene of a hit-and-run crash when they were struck by a vehicle.

The man and woman, who have not been identified, were both crossing Versailles Road around 6am when they were struck.

The woman was taken to the University of Kentucky Medical Center to be treated for life-threatening injuries.

The man was also seriously hurt, but is expected to survive.

Lexington Police say the man and woman had been involved in a hit-and-run accident and were leaving the scene of that accident when they were hit.

For hours, the crash closed Versailles Road between Man o' War Boulevard and Keeneland's second gate.

Police say the driver is not facing any charges at this time because the pedestrians were not crossing the street in a cross walk.

The accident remains under investigation.
