SAN DIMAS >> Coroner’s officials Sunday identified a 55-year-old trucker found dead inside a big rig parked along the right shoulder of the 10 Freeway Saturday afternoon.

Luis Diaz-Jaramillo of Chula Vista was pronounced dead at the scene after he was discovered unresponsive in his big rig alongside the eastbound 10 Freeway, just west of the 57 Freeway, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner Lt. Fred Corral said.

Firefighters first responded to the incident as a medical emergency, however Diaz-Jaramillo’s cause of death had not yet been determined, officials said.

He had last been heard from the day before, when he contacted his dispatch center and conveyed that he was vomiting blood, Corral said. The man had a history of medical problems.

An autopsy was pending.
