A mountain lion was hit by a vehicle and killed in Malibu, authorities said.
MALIBU, Calif. -- A mountain lion was hit by a vehicle and killed Wednesday in Malibu, authorities said.
The animal died at the scene of the collision, which was reported at about 7:35 a.m. in the 33200 block of Pacific Coast Highway, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department."P-104, a subadult male mountain lion, was killed by a car on PCH today. He was the most recent cat to be captured as part of our puma study,'' the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area tweeted.
Animal control personnel were sent to the scene to remove the fatally injured animal, the sheriff's department reported. The roadway remained open. J.P. Rose, a senior attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, said the lion's death is a reminder that"our roads are death traps for local mountain lions and other wildlife.''
