A woman riding a bicycle was struck and killed by a big-rig near Portola Valley this afternoon, a California Highway Patrol officer said.

The accident was reported at 3:39 p.m. on Alpine Road near the on-ramp to northbound Interstate Highway 280.

Initial reports indicated the bicyclist had been hit by an 18-wheeler and was underneath the big-rig. The San Mateo County coroner's office has been called to the scene.

CHP Officer Art Montiel said the bicyclist appears to be a woman in her 40s or early 50s.
