The man, who was spotted walking on the freeway about 11 a.m. Monday, was determined to be a resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico. A driver's license and vehicle registration were found in his car, said CHP public information officer Ramon Perez.

"Apparently, he's a mentally disturbed person," said Perez.

Perez said a CHP officer was able to talk to the man's father. He'll return to his city of residence and receive help, Perez added.
