Investigators are still trying to determine how a woman whose dismembered body was found on a Sun Valley freeway this week was killed.<\/p>\n
It’s not clear if the woman’s body was dropped from an overpass or if she fell from a vehicle or was struck as she walked along the roadway, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The California Highway Patrol began receiving reports of a dead animal on the southbound 5 Freeway near Laurel Canyon shortly after 9:15 p.m. Wednesday. The victim’s body was dismembered.<\/p>\n
"She was possibly struck by multiple vehicles," said CHP Officer Ming Hsu. "One person has so far come in to say they hit the body."<\/p>\n
"How it happened is still unknown,"\u00a0 Hsu said. <\/p>\n
Investigators with the CHP’s Altadena station are awaiting a coroner’s autopsy to aid them in determining\u00a0 how and when the woman died.<\/p>\n
Ed Winter, assistant chief of the Los Angeles County coroner’s office, said the woman has been identified but her name would not be made public until her family is notified.<\/p>\n
