Oceanside man dies after crash on I-5

Bettencourt said it remained unclear if drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash.

An 18-year-old Oceanside man early Monday morning after his pickup crashed on I-5 in Encinitas. His Nissan pickup was northbound when the vehicle overturned several times and struck a light pole near Leucadia Boulevard. The pole fell after the impact and struck the windshield of a UPS semi. The semi driver, a 49-year-old West Covina man, was treated at the scene for minor injuries. The Nissan driver had to be extricated by firefighters, and he was transported to a hospital, where he died. We'll update this story as more information becomes available.
