The crash was reported around 1 a.m. on northbound Highway 680 near Treat Boulevard, according to the California Highway Patrol.
A Sig-alert was issued, and all lanes of traffic were temporarily closed while investigators cleared the scene.
Details of the subsequent investigation were not immediately available Monday morning.
Jancek was a resident of Walnut Creek, according to the coroner’s office.
Boyfriend and I drove by minutes after it happened and had to swerve to avoid his body. We are so curious as to why he was running across the freeway in the first place. Our sympathies to the family.
You saved a boatload of PoPo time by the swerve.
It costs too much to get to the GG Bridge nowadays.
