A pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle Wednesday on the Pomona (60) Freeway in Diamond Bar.

California Highway Patrol officers responded to a collision at about 2:15 a.m. Wednesday along the eastbound freeway near the Orange (57) Freeway, the agency said.

A red Kia was initially believed to have hit a rock along the freeway, but officers at the scene discovered that the vehicle had struck a pedestrian, and began administering CPR before pronouncing the victim dead at the scene, according to the CHP.

Officers closed off all eastbound lanes with flares and issued an indefinite Sigalert.

It was unclear why the pedestrian was on the freeway.
