Driver Vicky Jain, 48, was arrested after driving into the couple with his rental car, which is badly damaged as a result of the incident.
Jain was driving on the main road through Candolim when he veered onto the wrong side of the carriageway and crashed into the pair, police reported.
The couple had reportedly left their hotel and were walking on the side of the road when the crash took place.
Both were rushed to the Goa Medical College (GMC) hospital in Bambolim right after the incident on April 25.
Solanki died in hospital that evening, while his wife underwent treatment at a medical centre and remained in critical condition.
Police have reportedly launched a full investigation.
The couple’s family have been contacted by police.
