The driver of a big rig managed to pull his vehicle over before dying of an apparent medical condition on Interstate 5 in the Del Mar area early Thursday, authorities said.
The incident on northbound I-5 north of Via De La Valle was reported at 7:26 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.
The driver had pulled to the right shoulder prior to dying, said CHP Officer Tommy Doerr.
Paramedics attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the man but were unsuccessful, the CHP reported.
U-T San Diego, quoting CHP Officer Jim Bettencourt, added that the driver had not been involved in a collision and was not blocking traffic lanes.
