Overview

  • Several hundred people attended a Sunday evening vigil to honor 4-year-old Ayden Fang two weeks after the fatal crash.
  • Ayden’s father, Ming Fang, called on neighbors to unite to improve pedestrian safety and pledged to advocate in his son’s memory.
  • Local reports say a 19-year-old driver exiting a Donnelly Avenue parking lot was struck by an e-bike before the car accelerated onto the sidewalk outside Truffle Poké Bar.
  • Ayden was killed in the collision, and a 6-year-old girl who was also hit was hospitalized and has since been released, according to the family.
  • Truffle Poké Bar plans to reopen Wednesday with a fundraiser, with proceeds directed to pedestrian-safety initiatives in Burlingame.
