Overview
- About 300 people gathered Sunday in Burlingame to honor Ayden Fang, who was killed Aug. 8 when a car went onto the sidewalk and into Truffle Poké Bar.
- CBS reports the car accelerated after contact with an e-bike as it exited a parking lot, and KRON4 notes another child was injured in the crash.
- Truffle Poké Bar plans to reopen Wednesday with a fundraiser, with proceeds directed to pedestrian-safety initiatives in Burlingame.
- Ayden’s father, Ming Fang, said a Lego tower his son built with a safety symbol is motivating the family’s advocacy for safer streets.
- Speakers remembered Ayden as a gifted preschooler, and mourners observed a four-and-a-half–minute silence to mark his four-and-a-half years of life.
