SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) - A San Francisco man who died Thursday after being struck by a vehicle as he was crossing Interstate Highway 280 has been identified as 36-year-old Dexter Lezcano, a spokesman for the San Francisco Medical Examiner said today.

Lezcano had been running around in the nude on the freeway just south of the Alemany Boulevard exit when he was struck by a Ford V-1 pickup truck traveling south around 2:10 a.m., according to California Highway Patrol.

The driver of the truck, 33-year-old San Francisco resident Erwin Arce, pulled over at an entrance to a nearby Bay Area Rapid Transit station and called 911 after the incident.

Other drivers also reported seeing Lezcano running around on the highway prior to the collision, the CHP reported.
