The accident happened around 9:45 p.m. on northbound I-5, north of Civic Center Drive, CHP said.
The man was driving southbound on I-5 when he lost control and crashed down the embankment at 18th Street and McKinley Avenue, according to CHP.
He then ran across all southbound lanes, jumped over the concrete median and was hit by a car in the northbound lanes. That motorist remained at the scene.
A Sig-Alert was issued, I-5 was completely shut down for a time and all traffic was diverted off Harbor Drive.
The freeway was reopened shortly after 11:30 p.m.
