This happened at the BP gas station parking lot at 2155 S. Military Highway around 1 p.m., police say.

Police shared a woman was driving westbound toward the Gilmerton Bridge went the car ran off the road into the parking lot, hitting the two men.

Both men were sent to the hospital, where one man later died from his injuries, police detailed. The other man is expected to live.

A friend of the men involved in the accident shared that before they were hit, they were sitting in the gas station parking lot at the back end of a pickup truck, selling watermelons.

He says he was talking to them shortly before the accident, left, and then came back when he heard about the crash.

Police say they are investigating the crash, and charges may be pending.
