A bicyclist was taken to the hospital with injuries Thursday afternoon following a collision involving a bus near the intersection of Middlefield and San Antonio roads, according to Palo Alto police.
The collision was reported shortly after 5 p.m. and the Palo Alto Police Department’s Serious Traffic Accident Reconstruction (STAR) team was investigating at the intersection, according to the police. Travel lanes on southbound Middlefield Road were reportedly closed.
The intersection is within Palo Alto, roughly a block from the Mountain View border.
Palo Alto police Lt. Nicolas Martinez said that the bus and the bicyclist were the only parties involved in the collision, according to the initial investigation. The cyclist suffered major injuries, he said.
The bus driver remained on scene and cooperated with the police, he said. Drugs are not suspected to be involved at this time.
As of Friday morning, no one has been cited, Martinez said. The cause of the accident was still under investigation Friday.
