Cyclist killed in Redwood City

A cyclist was killed by a dump truck while trying to weave around it in an intersection this morning in Redwood City.

As the vehicle, alternately described as a dump truck and a tractor-trailer with red paneling, began to turn right onto Holly Street, the cyclist attempted to squeeze past, Anderson said.


Ride safe and defensive out there.
