A Memorial Day ride ended in tragedy late Monday morning when a bicyclist was struck and killed by a vehicle on Berry Street in Roseville, according to police.
The collision shut down Berry Street between Tiger Way and Reserve Drive for several hours while investigators documented the scene. Officials have not yet released the victim’s name or any identifying details.
As reported by CBS Sacramento, Roseville police confirmed the crash involved a vehicle and a bicyclist and that one person died. The department said the immediate stretch of Berry Street was closed to traffic during the investigation. The outlet’s report was published May 25, 2026.
Local Bicycle Safety Trends
The city’s Active Transportation Plan shows bicycle collisions and serious injuries increased between 2018 and 2022. Bicycle collisions rose by roughly 36% during that period, with an average of about 28 bicyclists killed or injured per year.
The plan notes that crashes tend to cluster at intersections on major arterial roads and in commercial corridors, the kinds of busy spots where conflicts between bicycles and vehicles are more common. That longer term pattern provides context as investigators sort out what happened on Berry Street.
Where It Happened
The crash took place on the relatively short stretch of Berry Street that runs alongside Roseville High School and the district’s bus yards. It is the same segment that was shut down in April after an electric school-bus blaze. That earlier emergency also closed Berry Street between Reserve Street and Tiger Way.
The street’s proximity to the high school and bus storage area means any closure ripples quickly through neighborhood traffic patterns and school-day routines for local families.
Roseville police did not immediately release additional information about Monday’s crash and asked drivers to steer clear of the area while the investigation continues, according to CBS Sacramento. Officials said they plan to share updates when more details become available.
