CHP first received a call about a person struck by a car at approximately 7:09 a.m., local reporting said. That is the time the agency was alerted; the exact minute of impact has not been confirmed.
KMPH reported that CHP's initial investigation identified a westbound GMC Terrain as the vehicle that struck the man, and that officers believed he had been walking on the highway. ABC30 described the man as crossing the westbound lanes. The two accounts do not establish the direction he was moving or precisely where his path met the vehicle's, and CHP has not described any braking or evasive action.

The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with officers, according to the CHP account in local reporting. The man's name has not been released in the available accounts.
CHP's investigation was still open in the latest available account. What remains unresolved is the sequence immediately before impact — how the man and the westbound vehicle came into collision on Highway 180 on Monday morning.
