Both pedestrians, who were in their 60s, and the dog, died at the scene.

Emergency services attended Thurnham Lane, a rural road leading out of Bearsted
Local residents said they have had concerns about Thurnham Lane for a while.
Cathy Gillespie said cars "really speed" along the road and might not be aware of pedestrians.
"There's no pavement along there so pedestrians have to walk in the road," she said.
Her husband, Kieron, added: "It's a fast road for the type of road that it is.
"It's been very icy over the last few days. It wouldn't surprise me if there were more accidents there really."
