A bicyclist in Olivehurst was struck consecutively by two cars on Saturday night, fatally wounding her, and police are looking for one of the drivers who fled the scene.

The bicyclist was riding in the intersection of McGowan Parkway and Dan Avenue around 7:50 p.m. when she was struck by a car and was seriously injured, according to a news release issued by Yuba-Sutter California Highway Patrol.

Shortly after the first collision, the bicyclist was hit by another driver who did not realize that she was lying in the roadway, according to the release.
