A tragic incident took place last Friday, and the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office is diligently investigating the details of a fatal traffic accident in Woodside. The collision happened in the late afternoon at the notable intersection "Four Corners," where State Route 35 meets State Route 84, a spot locals are likely familiar with for its heavy traffic.
Upon receiving the accident report, first responders from several agencies, including the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, Cal Fire, AMR, and Life Flight, rushed to the scene. Their combined efforts, regrettably, weren't enough to save the injured bicyclist, who was hit by a pickup truck. After being airlifted to Stanford Medical Center in a critical state, the cyclist succumbed to their injuries today, despite receiving immediate medical aid at the spot of the crash.
The pickup truck driver stayed behind following the collision and actively participated with the authorities. The San Mateo County Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) has taken up the mantle to unearth the causes and factors leading up to the regrettable event. A thorough investigation is underway to piece together the moments that culminated in this tragedy.
In a heartfelt response to the incident, Sheriff Christina Corpus extended "our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the cyclist who tragically lost their life in this collision" in a statement.
The investigation into the incident is still open, and witnesses or those with further information are encouraged to step forward. The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office has issued an appeal through their official social media post, providing the phone number 650-363-4911 as a direct line for possible leads.
