James Francis, a student who lives across the road from where it happened, said he witnessed the man being hit.
He said he heard "a lot of commotion" and a "louder than normal" car engine.
"I was in a complete state of shock," the 19-year-old said.
"I ran to the scene to see a man lying on the ground with his partner distraught."
He said the man was unconscious and some people at the scene were "screaming 'call an ambulance' and 'call the police'".
