A stolen car struck and fatally struck two women in the South of Market neighborhood on Thursday, and the driver, a paroled robber, was arrested after he attempted to flee, police said.

The car, which had been reported stolen at around 4 p.m., hit a car and then two women, one of whom died at the scene, police said.
