A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle and killed on the Harbor (110) Freeway in downtown Los Angeles Tuesday.

California Highway Patrol officers were called at 4:50 a.m. Tuesday to the northbound side of the freeway near the Exposition Boulevard exit, where they learned a man attempted to run across the freeway and was struck by at least one vehicle, CHP Officer Ramon Kendricks told City News Service.

The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene. Debris from the collision was scattered over several lanes of the freeway, the CHP reported.

Officers questioned three drivers whose vehicles might have been involved in the collision.

The crash initially closed all lanes of the northbound freeway at Exposition and a Sigalert was issued. Two lanes were soon reopened and all were reopened and the Sigalert was canceled by about 7:30 a.m.
