A man who was struck and killed by a car in Brea on Friday night was ‘acting erratically’ before he died, authorities said.
According to a social media post from the Brea Police Department, officers initially responded to the area of Imperial Highway and Puente Street regarding a welfare check around 7:30 p.m.
“The caller stated a male was causing a disturbance and lying down in lanes of traffic,” BPD said on X, formerly Twitter.
Minutes later, a second person called police to report that the man was possibly hit by a car.
By the time officers arrived, they located the man in the roadway on Imperial Highway with major injuries “consistent with being struck by a vehicle,” police said.
