Investigation into discovery of body on Highway 101 in Ventura County led to traffic backups

Authorities are trying to figure out what led to the death of a 68 year old man whose body was found on Highway 101 in Ventura County.

Just after 7 a.m. Tuesday, motorists spotted the body in the center divider of the northbound lanes of the highway near Rancho Road in Thousand Oaks. The freeway’s fast lane was closed for much of the morning as a result of the investigation, resulting in traffic backups.

It reopened at about noon. Investigators haven’t released the name of the man.
