A 27-year-old California man died Tuesday when he crashed his car at the San Ysidro port of entry just south of San Diego while trying to enter the United States, the California Highway Patrol said. 

Shortly after 2 pm, his grey Hyundai sedan was traveling "at a high rate of speed when it collided with a metal swing arm barricade."
