OCEANSIDE – A 69-year-old San Clemente man died yesterday in a crash on northbound Interstate 5 in Oceanside.

The California Highway Patrol said two or three cars were involved in the 4:50 p.m. crash on the right-hand side of the road near a rest area just north of the Harbor Drive exit. At least one vehicle overturned.

The driver of one vehicle was killed. His identity was being withheld yesterday until family members can be notified, said James Buckley, an investigator with the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office.

Four freeway lanes were closed after the crash, holding up traffic for more than two hours.
