A man was found dead in a pickup truck parked near Interstate 5 in Encinitas on Tuesday evening.

Officers arrived at the scene and found the man unanswered in the truck. Authorities pronounced him dead at the scene.
The man’s name was not released immediately, and investigators did not determine the manner of his death.
