A bicyclist was killed riding down Skyline Boulevard near Woodside on Wednesday afternoon, according to the California Highway Patrol.
CHP officers were called just before 1:30 p.m. to state Highway 35 near Elk Tree Road. The bicyclist, a 50-year-old woman, had been riding downhill as a Mazda minivan driven by a 22-year-old Fremont man was heading uphill, the CHP said.
The driver made a left turn onto Elk Tree Road directly in front of the bicyclist, who crashed into the right side of the van, the CHP said. The bicyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
The collision shut down southbound state Highway 35 at state Highway 84 for about two hours.
