Pageland Makes Safety Changes After Child Struck, Killed by Car

PAGELAND, SC — Safety changes are in the works in front of a school where an SUV struck and killed a little girl.  

The accident happened Tuesday outside Pageland Elementary School.  Eight-year-old Nelly Herrera ran into the street while getting something from her parent’s car.

City Council members have asked the DOT to no longer allow cars to park along Highway 9 during school hours.  They’ll also ask for the flashing School Zone lights to stay on all day.
