A body was found Thursday night, Jan. 10 on the 405 freeway in Fountain Valley near the Brookhurst Street off-ramp.
According to the California Highway Patrol the body was spotted shortly after 8 p.m. in the carpool lane, said Officer Janelle Bautista.
The body, that of a man, was hit by two cars which prompted a closure of three lanes for investigation.
The drivers stopped after the impacts and cooperated with officers, Bautista said.
Though it is unclear what led to the deceased man ending up in the freeway lanes, officers were investigating if an abandoned Toytoa Prius on the center divider belonged to him.
