SAN DIEGO (KGTV)--A man died after losing control of his truck on Interstate 15 near Interstate 805 Saturday night, according to City News Service. 

The solo-vehicle crash killed Alejandro Walker-Resendis, 27, of Chula Vista who was pronounced dead at the scene around 11:45 p.m., authorities told City News Service. 

Paramedics found Walker-Resendis, who authorities said was driving alone without a seat belt, lying on the freeway and were unable to revive them.
