Credit: Sofia ZanderA woman riding her bicycle in South Berkeley was trapped beneath a car and sustained critical injuries when a driver struck her Wednesday afternoon. Numerous people called BPD to say a bicyclist was pinned underneath a silver Lexus 470 sedan, authorities said. The Berkeley Fire Department rushed the woman, who was not breathing and had no pulse, to Highland Hospital in an effort to save her life. The California Highway Patrol will handle the investigation because the city’s traffic enforcement resources are currently stretched so thin, BPD said.
