South Lake Tahoe man dies in Stockton area crash

A 24-year-old South Lake Tahoe man died in a San Joaquin County crash Thursday morning.

At 8:30 a.m. August 9, the driver of a 1998 Lexus apparently lost control of his car as he pulled out from the shoulder of Highway 4, west of Stockton. He sideswiped another car, then continued out-of-control until the vehicle hit another car according to the California Highway Patrol.

The car then crashed into an irrigation canal and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver's name has not been released.

People in the other cars involved were not injured.
