Eastbound lanes of the Foothill (210) Freeway were reopened Monday in an area of Arcadia after a pedestrian, attempting to run across lanes of traffic, was fatally struck by a vehicle.

A woman called the California Highway Patrol at 9:31 p.m. Sunday to report that she possibly hit a person in an eastbound lane of the 210 at Madre Street.

Another witness reported that a pedestrian was hit while running across lanes, the CHP stated.

The pedestrian, found in the slow lane, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the CHP.

Video from the scene showed the body under a white sheet in the far right lane, shielded by a Pasadena Fire Department truck.

The CHP issued a SigAlert at 10:45 p.m. shutting down all eastbound lanes at Madre Street, where they were diverting traffic off of the freeway. The HOV lane and lanes 1 and 2 were reopened at 12:26 a.m. Monday. Remaining lanes were reopened at 1:30 a.m.
