POWAY, Calif. -- A 32-year-old San Diego man died after he stood up in a T-top sports car to cool off and was blown out of it on a Poway freeway, officials said Saturday.

Steven Andrew Turner was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, reported about 7:30 p.m. Friday on Interstate 15, just south of Ted Williams Parkway, California Highway Patrol Officer Larry Landeros said.

The driver of the vehicle, Joseph Reccoppa, 35, was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and could face other charges, Landeros said.

Reccoppa bailed out of the county jail, a clerk said Saturday.


It was unclear if Turner was struck by another vehicle when he hit the road, Landeros said.

Earlier reports indicated that he had been struck by another vehicle.
