A woman was killed and three others, including a child, were taken to a hospital after a crash in Rock Hill Tuesday, officials said.

The 21-year-old woman who died was a passenger in a Chevrolet Cobalt that collided with a Honda Pilot SUV on Springdale Road, said Lt. Michael Chavis of the Rock Hill Police Department in a statement.

The York County Coroner’s Office has not released her name.

The crash happened before 2 p.m. east of Dave Lyle Boulevard and Interstate 77, Chavis said, closing a major road for hours.

The driver of the Chevrolet was taken to Piedmont Medical Center hospital with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening, Chavis said.

The driver of the Honda and a 3-year-old passenger were taken to PMC for evaluation, Chavis said.
