UPDATE: Coroner ID's Bicyclist Killed by Truck on PCH

A 29-year-old woman was hit by a truck Friday morning on Pacific Coast Highway and Bayside Drive.

A Newport Beach woman died Friday after being hit by a truck in Newport Beach, the Orange County coroner's office reported.

Bicyclist Sarah Leaf, 29, was involved in a deadly collision with a stake bed truck about 10:40 a.m. at the corner of Bayside Drive and Pacific Coast Highway, according to Newport Beach police Sgt. Mark Hamilton.

Leaf was pronounced dead at the scene.

"The driver remained at the scene and no arrests have been made," Hamilton said.

A witness said Leaf was wearing a helmet.

"I thought she was so still, I didn't know if she was dead," resident Barbara D. said. "I feel so bad, really sad."

Both vehicles were going east, and the collision happened when the driver of a stake-bed truck turned right on Bayside Drive, according to police.

Southbound Bayside Drive from Pacific Coast Highway was closed for several hours on Friday.
