Bicyclist Struck, Killed Crossing US-101 in Burlingame

(Editor's Note: The following information was provided by the Redwood City office of the California Highway Patrol)

On Saturday night, at approximately 10:40 p.m., Redwood City Area officers were notified of a traffic collision on US-101 northbound, south of Broadway Avenue near Burlingame.  

Upon arriving at the scene, responding units located several vehicles stopped on the northbound lanes including a green Honda Accord.  One party was located within the northbound lanes, and sustained fatal injuries as a result of this collision.

It appears that the subject had attempted to cross the freeway on his bicycle when he was struck by the Honda and subsequently struck by a Dodge. This collision is still under investigation and information will be released as it becomes available.

During theinvestigation US-101 in this area was closed to traffic for approximately 40 minutes
resulting in minimal traffic delays.

It appears alcohol may have been a factor in this collision. The victim's information will be made available by the San Mateo County Coroner's Office once the family has been notified.

If there are any witnesses to this collision, please contact Officer Lafauci at 650-
369-6261 ext. 394.
