134, 210 freeway traffic clears as lanes reopen after closures from fatal accident today in Pasadena

An investigation is underway after a deadly accident Tuesday morning involving a pedestrian shut down part of the 134 Freeway in Pasadena for hours.

As commuters were hitting the start of morning rush hour around 5:30 a.m., the Pasadena Fire Department responded to a person down in one of the westbound lanes of the 134 Freeway between the 210 Freeway and San Rafael Avenue. 

According to the California Highway Patrol, a pedestrian was crossing freeway lanes when they were struck by a blue Volkswagen Tiguan. The driver of the Tiguan stopped and cooperated with law enforcement. 

The closures affected the eastbound 210 and its transition to the westbound 134. Three lanes of the westbound 134 were closed as the Highway Patrol investigated the crash. 

By 10:30 a.m., the CHP reported the SigAlert was cancelled and all lanes on the westbound 134, the 210 transition and the northbound were reopened.
