BALDWIN PARK - Traffic is moving once again after investigators closed lanes of the I-10 freeway near Francisquito Avenue Saturday morning after a pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle.

The pedestrian was killed on the eastbound I-10 freeway just west of Francisquito Avenue.

CHP officers were first called to a report of a body in lanes at 4:39 a.m., according to Officer Moises Marroquín of the California Highway Patrol Traffic Management Center.

Initial reports provided to the California Highway Patrol indicated the pedestrian was walking casually across traffic lanes. The pedestrian was found dead in the slow lane.

CHP officers briefly closed all eastbound lanes around 5:02 a.m. near the scene to establish a flare pattern. The HOV and No. 1 lanes of the eastbound I-10 freeway were soon opened to traffic.
