BELMONT, CA — Belmont police are working to determine what led to the death of a woman who was found with fatal injuries, lying in a local roadway. Police say she was found around 7 a.m. Monday along Cipriani Boulevard at Newlands Avenue. Someone had spotted her and called for help.

"Upon arrival, officers found the victim lying in the roadway, just south of Newlands Avenue," Belmont Police Capt. Patrick Halleran said in a news release. "The victim was treated at the scene by Belmont Fire Department paramedics and was transported to an area hospital, but did not survive."

The San Mateo County coroner's office will identify the woman after contacting her family.
