Man fatally struck by car on 605 Freeway in Irwindale
IRWINDALE -- An elderly man was struck and killed while walking on the 605 Freeway Thursday, officials said.
The incident was reported just after 6:20 p.m. on the southbound 605 Freeway near Live Oak Avenue, California Highway Patrol Officer Monica Posada said.
The man was struck in the center of the freeway, and at least one witness reported seeing him walking across the roadway, Posada said.
It was not clear why the man was on the freeway.
The accident caused the closure of all four lanes of the southbound freeway for about an hour, according to CHP logs. The two right lanes were reopened about an hour after the crash, though the two left lanes remained shut down Thursday evening as officials investigated.
No further details were available.
