A spokesman for South Wales Police said a woman had been flown to
hospital by air ambulance but the man had "sustained fatal injuries".

The Brynmill area, where the tragic accident occurred, is home to many
students in Swansea.
Local councillor Peter May said he was shocked to hear of the incident.
He said: "Looking at the scene, it appears that the vehicle must have
run down a hill from a back lane just off Brynmill Crescent.
"The people in the street are naturally very shocked at what has
happened. "There is a lot of uncertainty as to whether it was someone
known to us."
A spokesman for Mid and West Fire and Rescue service said crews had
attended the rear of the street following reports a man and woman had
been injured.
The spokesman said: "They were stuck under the vehicle and the fire
service used low air pressure air bags to release both casualties.
"We sent two fire engines, one from Swansea West and one from Swansea Central."
Emergency services remain at the scene dealing with the incident.
Police are appealing for any witnesses to contact 101 and quote
incident 430 of November 30.
