The crash caused law enforcement to shut down the road for several hours.

According to initial reports, an Acura sedan and a cyclist were both traveling north on Cañada Road when the crash occurred around 5 p.m. The cause of the collision has not yet been determined and is currently under investigation, California Highway Patrol’s Redwood City office said in a Facebook post.

The 22-year-old driver of car and the passenger were both taken to the hospital as a precaution, according to CHP.

Authorities reopened Cañada Road shortly before 8:30 p.m. on Monday after closing following the fatal crash earlier in the evening.

Witnesses are asked to contact the Redwood City Area Office at 650-779-2700 with any information regarding Monday night’s crash.

This is the second time in less than two weeks that a cyclist has died after a collision with a motorist in the area. On March 31, a cyclist was killed in a hit-and-run collision in Redwood City. The incident remains under investigation.
