The crash was initially reported just after 6:35 p.m. at southbound Highway 101 and Brittan Avenue.
Officers said the 45-year-old Redwood City man walked into the No. 4 lane, and may have been under the influence of alcohol.
A Sig-alert was issued at 6:59 p.m., and the southbound off-ramps to Holly Street and Brittan are both closed. There is no estimate for when they will reopen.
Officers were looking for a white Toyota with damage to the front end but were not yet certain what model Toyota was involved in the crash, which remains under investigation.
