SARATOGA SPRINGS – A pedestrian from Schuylerville was killed after being struck by a car early Sunday in Saratoga Springs, police said.

The incident happened just before 1 a.m. Sunday on Route 9, just north of the state park’s East/West Road, police said.

Police responded there for a report of a vehicle that had struck a pedestrian. The fire department also responded and provided emergency medical treatment to Irish, but she was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
