Redwood City, CA (March 25, 2025) – A cyclist suffered injuries Sunday afternoon after being struck by a vehicle that fled the scene at the intersection of Cordilleras Rd and Edgewood Rd, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred around 3:19 p.m. on March 23. Emergency communications indicated that a vehicle collided with a bicyclist traveling eastbound on Edgewood Rd near Cordilleras Rd. The driver reportedly left the scene before authorities arrived. First responders from the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office and emergency medical services were alerted, and paramedics were dispatched to evaluate the injured cyclist.
Reports at the scene suggested the cyclist may have sustained a collarbone injury as a result of the impact. Although the victim’s condition has not been publicly confirmed, the nature of the emergency response indicates that injuries were considered significant enough to require prompt medical attention.
Authorities searched the area but were initially unable to locate either the suspect vehicle or confirm its direction of travel following the collision. Deputies and CHP units continued investigating eastbound along Edgewood Rd in an effort to determine where the crash occurred and identify the fleeing driver.
At this time, no description of the vehicle has been released, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Our thoughts are with the injured cyclist, and we wish them a smooth and full recovery.
Hit-and-Run Bicycle Collisions in California
This incident in Redwood City highlights the ongoing dangers cyclists face, especially in suburban and semi-rural corridors like Edgewood Rd, where winding roads and limited shoulders can make bike travel risky. The area around Cordilleras Rd, popular with recreational riders, is known for its scenic but often narrow paths, which can increase the likelihood of close calls or collisions with motor vehicles.
Hit-and-run crashes involving cyclists are particularly alarming due to the immediate vulnerability of the rider. Unlike car occupants, cyclists have little to no protection in the event of impact, making them highly susceptible to fractures, head trauma, and internal injuries. When a driver flees, they not only break the law—they deny the injured person timely aid that could prevent complications or save a life.
In this case, a possible collarbone injury points to the kind of trauma typically sustained when a rider is thrown or falls abruptly from a bike. Quick action from San Mateo County deputies and medical responders ensured the cyclist received care, but identifying the at-fault driver will be essential for legal accountability and potential compensation for the victim.
Bicycle advocacy organizations in the Bay Area continue to push for safer road conditions, more designated bike lanes, and stronger public awareness campaigns aimed at protecting cyclists. Incidents like this serve as an urgent reminder of the need for shared responsibility on the road.
