The incident was reported at 5:46 a.m. but CHP officials determined the crash occurred several hours earlier because the car’s engine was only slightly warm upon their arrival.
 
The vehicle reportedly went off westbound Highway 4, just West of 5 Freeway in Stockton’s Port District, traveled down a steep embankment and crashed into a tree. The vehicle then ended up near East Washington Street east of South Garfield Street.
 
The driver, who was identified as a 38-year-old Arthur Anthony Ortega of Stockton, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was not wearing a seatbelt.
