A pedestrian died as a result of being struck by a vehicle this morning on Route 228 East.
The call came into the Butler County 911 Center around 8:20 a.m. for a pedestrian that was hit by a car on Ekastown Road (Route 228 East) about a mile before the intersection with Sarver Road.
Details on the crash are not known, but dispatchers initially said one person suffered a “compound leg fracture.” The coroner was later dispatched to the scene.
A portion of Route 228 had to be shut down for several hours in between Sarver Road and Coal Hollow Road.
