A bicyclist has died after being struck by a pickup truck in Woodside, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.
San Mateo County sheriff’s deputies and paramedics with Cal Fire and American Medical Response responded to the accident at the intersection of Skyline and LaHonda roads at about 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
The victim hasn’t been identified and the sheriff’s press release didn’t even say whether the person was male or female. However, the coroner will identify the victim within days.
A helicopter took the victim to Stanford Hospital. But the bicyclist later died.
The driver of the pickup truck stopped at the scene and was cooperative with the investigation, according to the sheriff’s office’s statement.
The intersection of the windy, two-lane highways is in the middle of dense redwoods at a cluster of businesses including Skywood Trading Post and Deli, and Alice’s Restaurant.
The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office asked anyone who witnessed the collision to contact the sheriff’s office at (650) 363-4911.
Isn’t that the intersection where Alice’s used to be?
Alice’s is still there. And yes, that’s the intersection where the accident occurred.
I find it astonishing that there are new traffic lights going in all over the place where there is new housing but there isn’t one at this intersection. Highway 35 is virtually traffic light-free for miles but they can’t have one at the only major intersection along the route. At least try a four-way stop.
