1 dead after 2 bicyclists collide on Davis bike path, police say

One person has died after a pair of bicyclists collided on a bike path in the Northern California city of Davis on Monday, officials said.

The Davis Police Department said officers responded around 2:48 p.m. to the collision, which happened in the area of Community Park at West Covell Boulevard and Catalina Drive.

When they arrived, officers and fire crews found both riders — one adult and one minor — injured. The adult was pronounced dead at the scene. The second bicyclist sustained minor injuries and is cooperating with investigators, police said.
