A man was killed in a multi-vehicle crash Saturday when he was struck by a big rig on the San Bernardino (10) Freeway in Claremont.
The crash occurred at 5:10 a.m. Saturday on the eastbound freeway just west of South Indian Hill Boulevard, according to the California Highway Patrol.
A preliminary investigation determined the man was a passenger in a gray Toyota Camry that was involved in a collision and blocking the No. 3 eastbound lane, the CHP reported.
He got out of the car with the driver before a blue big rig in the No. 3 lane crashed into the car and its trailer hit the man, according to the CHP. The man was thrown to the right road shoulder where he died. His name was withheld pending notification of relatives.
A Sigalert issued at 5:31 a.m. that shut down all lanes of the eastbound freeway at South Indian Hill was canceled at 9:37 a.m.
