BERKELEY — The California Highway Patrol closed multiple Interstate 80 lanes Wednesday after a person died Wednesday after apparently being struck by a vehicle, authorities said.
Shortly before 6:20 p.m., CHP officers received reports of a body seen in a roadway near I-80 and arrived to learn that a vehicle struck a pedestrian close to an eastbound on-ramp near Ashby Avenue and Seventh Street.
Although firefighters responded to the scene to provide medical aid, the person was pronounced dead at the scene.
Berkeley police officers worked to shut down I-80 off-ramps in both directions to allow investigators to respond to the scene.
Check back for updates.
