A bicyclist was seriously injured Friday around 12:15 p.m. after being struck by a motorist near the intersection of Family Farm and Portola roads in Woodside, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff’s Sgt. Philip Hallworth said the cyclist was immediately transported by ambulance to a nearby trauma center. The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.
The County’s Major Accident Investigation Team is conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the collision, Hallworth said.
The county sent an alert at 1:40 p.m. to notify the public of traffic delays around the intersection and to encourage drivers to avoid the area.
By 3 p.m., the road had reopened.

Where are the details about the cause of this collision? This story is missing many of them…
I have ridden this section of Portola Road many times and sight lines are generally good. Bicyclists are a common sight and a normal part of the traffic flow in Woodside/Portola Valley, so seeing bicyclists on the roadway is common.
In which direction(s) were the driver and bicyclist headed when the driver hit the cyclist? Was the driver on his/her phone at the time or otherwise distracted?
Where are the results of the report into the investigation?
