Bicyclist killed in collision with vehicle in Seal Beach

SEAL BEACH – A bicyclist was killed in a collision with a vehicle in Seal Beach on Friday morning.

The crash occurred near the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Seal Beach Boulevard, police said. The bicyclist sustained traumatic injuries and was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and was interviewed by officers, the Seal Beach Police Department said in a news release.

No details were given about how the accident happened. Police did not release the bicyclist’s identity.

The collision was discussed on the site Biking in LA. One person wrote on Friday night, “I was at the scene when the accident happened and CPR was rendered by 4 of us before EMS arrived- We all knew what to do and did our best, but we know the tragic outcome all too often when it’s bike versus auto. I ride my bike on that route most weekends and have had several close calls at that intersection. I’m very sad for my fellow rider and for his family and friends. Talk about him a lot… it hurts but it helps too. Peace.”

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone who can provide additional information should call Motor Officer/Traffic Investigator Keith Phan at (562) 799-4100 ext. 1625.
