A bicyclist died Wednesday morning after being hit by a truck while she was riding on Folsom Street in the South of Market neighborhood, police said.

The crash happened as the truck tried to make a right turn at 7:07 a.m. at Sixth and Folsom streets, police said.

Both the bicyclist, a woman about 30 years old, and the truck driver were headed east on Folsom. When the trucker tried to turn south onto Sixth, he hit the bicyclist, said Officer Bryan Lujan.

The woman died at San Francisco General Hospital. Neither her name nor the name of the trucker has been released.

The truck driver stayed at the scene and was interviewed by police. He has not been cited. The truck was later towed away.

As police investigated the crash, the woman's crumpled blue, road-riding bicycle lay at the southwest corner of the intersection. A bike helmet was nearby.
