QUEENS — A husband and wife in their 80s were killed when their car careened out of control in a College Point supermarket parking lot and crashed Monday night, police said.

The 87-year-old man who was behind the wheel was pulling out of BJ's at 137-05 20th Ave. about 9:15 p.m. when he lost control and slammed into an empty gray minivan and a light pole, NYPD officials said.

He and his 89-year-old passenger, whose names were not released, were both pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The medical examiner's office will determine their cause of death.

Police said their investigation was ongoing.
