A motorcyclist was killed Tuesday in a head-on collision with a pickup truck at Devils Slide, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.

The crash occurred shortly before 3 p.m. south of the new bypass tunnels in unincorporated San Mateo County. A man riding a Yamaha motorcycle collided with a Toyota pickup, CHP Officer Tony Tam said. Witnesses reported seeing the motorcycle moving at a high rate of speed, he said. The man's identification and other details weren't immediately released.

Highway 1 was shut in both directions for about two hours while officials investigated the crash.
