SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A driver died Saturday in a multi-vehicle crash on State Route 56 in the northeastern San Diego area.

The incident occurred around 9:52 p.m. on SR-56 westbound near Black Mountain Road, the California Highway Patrol said in a news release.

Authorities say a white Toyota and black Porsche were traveling westbound on SR-56 when the black Porsche for unknown reasons crashed into the rear end of the white Toyota.
