CHP: Pedestrian Killed Running On 101 Freeway In Downtown LA
LOS ANGELES (CBS) — A man was struck and killed in a traffic lane of the northbound Hollywood (101) Freeway in downtown L.A. early Monday, the California Highway Patrol said.
A woman called the CHP at 4:24 a.m. to say the pedestrian had darted across lanes, according to a CHP statement.
He was described as a man about 50 years old.
All northbound lanes of the Hollywood Freeway were shut down at Alameda Street for an unknown duration for the investigation, and L.A. police were called to assist in directing traffic on city streets around the closure, the CHP said.
