A man was struck by two vehicles and killed on the Hollywood (101) Freeway Sunday, authorities said.

Police said the male pedestrian was hit around 2:53 a.m. by a Toyota Corolla and another car — either a Toyota SUV or a pickup truck — traveling south on the freeway. He was located lying within the second lane of traffic on the freeway, just south of Wilton Place.

The driver of the Corolla, a 49-year-old man from Anaheim, remained at the scene, though the driver of the other vehicle did not, according to the CHP.

The struck man suffered injuries to the head and abdominal region and was pronounced dead on the scene, officials said.

Investigators were working to determine how the man got onto the freeway or whether he was under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash.

The CHP asked anyone with information to call Officer B.R. Bowman at (213) 744-2331.
