All southbound lanes were shut down, but traffic was being let through the far right shoulder of the freeway. All lanes were reopened by 9 a.m.

It's unknown if the incident was a hit-and-run crash, but a car could not be seen stopped as AIR7 HD was over the scene.

This comes after another pedestrian was killed after being hit by a car in the same area about two weeks ago.
