The California Highway Patrol closed two southbound lanes of the 405 Freeway at Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa during the Tuesday afternoon rush hour after a man walked onto the highway.
The Costa Mesa Fire Department and the CHP both got calls about a man wandering on the freeway just after 4:10 p.m., a fire department dispatcher said.
About 5 p.m., the unidentified man sat down on the freeway, but by 5:30 p.m., authorities were able to get him off the road and reopen the two right lanes, a CHP dispatcher said.
