MILPITAS — A male pedestrian who ran across Interstate 880 on Sunday evening was hit by multiple cars and killed, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The pedestrian did not have any identification in his possession, and as of Monday the CHP had not provided a name or age for the victim.

At 6:05 p.m., the pedestrian ran from the right shoulder of 880 southbound near the Highway 237 interchange toward the lanes of traffic, according to the CHP. The man was immediately hit by a 2004 Volvo, driven by a San Jose woman.

The pedestrian landed on the highway and was hit by two more vehicles, according to the CHP.

All of the drivers, including a 27-year-old Santa Cruz man and a 33-year-old Los Altos man, were determined to be sober, according to the CHP.

The collision and its aftermath shut down all lanes of southbound Interstate 880 near the Highway 237 interchange for two hours, with traffic diverted onto McCarthy Boulevard, Officer William Ogilvie said. Traffic was backed up for miles.

The Santa Clara County Coroner’s Office will work to identify the pedestrian.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the CHP at 408-467-5400.
