A 61-year-old bicyclist was struck and killed by a driver early Friday morning on University Avenue in East Palo Alto, police Cmdr. Jeff Liu said Tuesday.

The bicyclist, Eric Clemons of Menlo Park, was struck by a car traveling west on University Avenue and Adams Drive at around 4:30 a.m. Responding paramedics rendered aid but Clemos died at the scene, Liu said.

The driver, a 31-year-old man, stayed at the scene and cooperated with the initial investigation. The cause of the collision and specific details are still under investigation, Liu said.
