A release said officers were dispatched to the scene around 5:29 p.m. They provided immediate medical assistance, but both individuals - a male and female - were pronounced dead at the scene.

A release Friday afternoon said Robert Blake Buxton, 47, and Meredith Nypree Aikens, 45, both of Roseville, were the two pedestrians killed when they were struck by a dark blue GMC Sierra pickup truck driven by 72-year-old John Michael Rickey of St. Paul.

Authorities say the 61-year-old Roseville man was under the influence of alcohol and was in his car attempting to drive away from the bar when police made the arrest Saturday night.
