A motorist fatally struck a cyclist riding through the Southside neighborhood Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

John Edward Muller, 65, of Richmond had been riding southbound on Telegraph Avenue near Haste Street when the driver, headed north, struck him, according to police and the county coroner.<\/p>\n

Emergency workers took Muller to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.<\/p>\n

The police department\u2019s Fatal Accident Investigation Team is looking into the collision, Berkeley Police Department spokesperson Byron White said in an email.<\/p>\n

The driver remained at the scene and was cooperating with the investigation, White said.<\/p>\n

Vehicular traffic is one-way northbound on that section of Telegraph. The intersection is controlled by traffic lights. It was unclear precisely where Muller and the motorist collided.<\/p>\n

This marks Berkeley\u2019s first fatal cyclist crash of 2025, according to police data. There have been<\/a> three other fatal collisions<\/a> so far this year<\/a>, each involving a motorist and a pedestrian.<\/p>\n
