A pedestrian was killed Thursday morning in a crash in Lancaster County that shut down a busy intersection, officials said.

The collision happened around 6:30 a.m. on Grace Avenue at S.C. 9, according to the S.C. Highway Patrol.

The pedestrian was in the road when struck by a 2001 Honda sedan, said Master Trooper Gary Miller of the highway patrol.
