A pedestrian riding a bicycle was struck by a vehicle near the intersection of North State Street and Kunzler Ranch Road on Friday evening, according to emergency radio traffic. Due to the severity of the injuries, an air ambulance was dispatched and landed near the scene to transport the victim to a medical facility.
The collision occurred around 7:19 p.m., with initial reports indicating that the individual was lying in the roadway following the crash. It is unclear whether the bicyclist was struck by an SUV or a city bus, both of which were reported to be on the scene.
A ground ambulance transported the patient to nearby landing zone for the patient to be transported.

Isn’t it dark at that time?Why would they be riding a bike in the dark?
Because they don’t have a car.
Next question.
Because everybody doesn’t have the luxury or the means to buy a car
“A pedestrian riding a bicycle”?
Pedestrians are walking. Bicyclists are riding a bicycle.
Under California law, a pedestrian is “any person who is afoot or who is using a means of conveyance propelled by human power other than a bicycle.”
So, roller skates, skateboards, etc. But NOT bicycles. Somebody riding a bike is a bicyclist, not a pedestrian.
Lol
We can suppose Lindsey is the village idiot.
At least I don’t talk like a Mexican
That’s the best you can say for yourself? And it is bad to “talk like Mexican”. Tell us why we should not think of you as the village idiot. You demonstrate that you are, but I am going to just ignore you as being not worth my time.
And a racist
Judging you by your own comments Willets Wally you could be easily qualify as the number one village idiot of Little Lake.
Annas comment is spot on.
Larry, stifle yourself.
To dispell any possible notion that this correction is coming from a snooty or “better than” perspective I am providing this ….jus’ so’s you knows it; Pedestrians don’t ride bicycles, Cyclists do.
The lack of empathy in this comment section is disturbing. Whatever the reason for the cyclist riding at night, is irrelevant. We need to stay alert and retain our humanity. I hope the cyclist is okay.
This would make a great case to expand the redwood trail so bicyclist have a near independent route away from automobiles. Just an FYI at any future BOS or city council meeting for public comment….
Rumor is the victim was Gerald the Golf Guy ifrom Calpella. ?
