Pedestrian fatally struck on I-580 in Oakland

A pedestrian running in the middle of Interstate 580 in Oakland was struck and killed early Friday morning, California Highway Patrol officials said.

Around 1:15 a.m., the 41-year-old driver of a 2001 Chevrolet pickup truck plowed into the man who was running in the eastbound middle lane of the interstate near Keller Avenue, the CHP said.

The unnamed driver stopped, called 911 and stayed at the scene to cooperate with officers. He was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol and was not cited in the episode.

Officers found the pedestrian lying on the right hand shoulder of the freeway. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Alameda County coroner did not immediately identify the man who was killed, while investigators continued working to figure out what he was doing in the middle of the busy freeway.

The CHP shut down three lanes of the interstate for about two hours while officers processed the scene.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the CHP at (707) 551-4100.
