All eastbound and westbound lanes of the 10 freeway at New Avenue in San Gabriel were closed for over an hour on Sunday morning after a man apparently hanged himself from an overpass, police said.
At around 11 a.m., Caltrans workers spotted the man hanging from the chainlink fence on the north side of the overpass near West Saxon and Jackson avenues, San Gabriel Police Sgt. Nhat Huynh said.
The freeway was immediately closed as law enforcement and the coroner investigated. The lanes reopened around noon, Huynh said.
