Body Found In Lanes Of Northbound 101 Freeway In Cahuenga Pass

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A grisly discovery in the Cahuenga Pass wreaked havoc on morning traffic out of Hollywood Wednesday.

A Sigalert was issued for all lanes of the northbound 101 Freeway at Mulholland at about 5:45 a.m. after the body of a man in his 40s was found. He had apparently jumped from an overcrossing onto lanes.

The northbound lanes were shut down and traffic diverted off the freeway at Barham Boulevard, causing a backup all the way to Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood. Two left lanes re-opened just before 6 a.m.

The freeway fully reopened at about 8:30 a.m.
