A pedestrian was in the road, near the intersection with Meadowfield Road, when they were hit by a 2004 Dodge SUV that was driving north on Woodtrail Drive, according to Ridgeway.

The pedestrian died at the scene, Ridgeway said.

The Lexington County Coroner’s Office has not publicly identified the pedestrian.
