An 84-year-old man died Monday after his vehicle veered off State Route 163 and struck a tree.
According to the medical examiner's office, Charles Babin, who lives in San Diego with his wife, was driving alone in his Hyundai Sonata just before 7 a.m., heading south on SR-163.
Just north of Interstate 805, witnesses saw his vehicle turn to the right and off the road. Babin then hit a large eucalyptus tree.
Emergency crews took Babin to Sharp Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The cause of his death has not been determined, the medical examiner's office says.
