A man operating a moped who was killed in an early Saturday morning hit-and-run in Conway on U.S. 701 South was identified by the Horry County Coroner’s Office.

Terry Allan Morehead, 46 of Conway was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Tony Hendrick, Horry County deputy coroner.

The crash happened in Conway city limits about 4:20 a.m. on U.S. 701 and New Road, according to Hendrick. Conway police were called to the deadly collision, involving the moped and one other vehicle, according to a release from Sgt. Darren Alston with Conway police.
