The mountain lion was hit Tuesday night on Pacific Coast Highway near Leo Carrillo State Beach.
An adult male mountain lion was struck around 6:30 p.m Tuesday. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife was notified at about 7 p.m. and contacted a local veterinarian to prepare for possible treatment.
But when they arrived, it became clear the lion's injuries — which included broken bones, lacerations and likely internal injuries — would be fatal.Numerous mountain lions in the area are collared, tracked, and studied by the National Park Service, but this particular lion was not, so scientists did not have any additional information about him.
