An Oceanside man died in a two-car crash on the 405 Freeway in Long Beach on Friday.
The wreck was reported around 7:20 a.m. on the northbound 405 at the 710 Freeway, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Bobby Eurin.
Investigators determined a 69-year-old man was driving a Hyundai in the far right lane when, for unknown reasons, he lost control of the vehicle and veered left before hitting the front of a Tesla that was traveling in the far left lane at about 65 mph, Eurin said.
After the collision, the Hyundai continued until it hit the center median, Eurin said.
The Hyundai driver was pronounced dead at the scene. He was identified as 69-year-old Mark Cassidy, of Oceanside.
The Tesla driver was treated at the scene for minor injuries, and a passenger in the Tesla was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, Eurin said.
