6/26/09: Bicyclist killed near Dublin

Struck from behind, and no mention yet of any charges being filed...Commuters were so intent on getting home that they kicked the bike out of the way...

DUBLIN — A bicyclist died Friday afternoon in unincorporated Contra Costa County after he was struck by a car and pinned underneath.

The driver of the car then suffered major injuries when she swerved into oncoming traffic and was struck by a sport utility vehicle, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The collisions occurred at 5:10 p.m. in the 8600 block of Camino Tassajara, just 50 feet from the Alameda County line.

The adult bicyclist was headed south on the road when he was struck from behind by a green Honda Accord, driven by a 40-year-old Cupertino woman.
