FALLBROOK (CNS) - A man died Thursday when the sports car he was driving plowed into the back of a big rig on Interstate 15 in northern San Diego County.

The impact left the car wedged underneath the cargo trailer of the truck, the CHP reported. The driver and sole occupant of the Charger died at the accident scene. His name was withheld pending family notification.
