A man was killed early Sunday when he was struck by a vehicle while walking on the Santa Monica (10) Freeway in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles.
The crash occurred at 3:24 a.m. on the westbound Santa Monica Freeway at La Brea Avenue, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Patrick Kimball.
A woman called the CHP to report that she hit a person, Kimball said.
The man was believed to have been about 50-years-old, Kimball said.
The CHP issued a SigAlert shutting down all but the far right lane of the westbound Santa Monica Freeway just east of La Brea, he said.
