Mountain lion found dead less than a mile from wildlife crossing construction site 

AGOURA HILLS, Cali. (KTLA) — A mountain lion was found dead on a California freeway, less than a mile from a wildlife crossing that is currently under construction.

Preliminary information indicates that early Saturday morning, the deceased mountain lion was blocking lanes on the southbound side of the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills, about 35 miles west of Los Angeles.

California Highway Patrol officers moved the mountain lion to the right shoulder of the freeway so traffic could pass through.
