""We would like to unite the community and improve pedestrian safety here in California," said Ming Fang, Ayden's father. The child's uncle and a school teacher also addressed the crowd. The family set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for counseling costs. Additionally, "we want to expand the use of these funds to also include pedestrian safety initiatives in the city as well as creating a memorial scholarship in Ayden's name at his school, FSM Montessori.""
"While exiting the parking lot the driver collided with an e-bike rider who was heading eastbound on Donnelly. According to the Police, the e-bike rider had the right of way and was following all state and local traffic laws. (Note that initial reports gave many the impression that the e-bike rider was in violation of the law and was responsible for the crash and even the SUV driver's acceleration onto the far sidewalk.)"
Nearly 300 people attended a vigil in Burlingame for four-year-old Ayden Fang, who was struck and killed by a driver in August. The family set up a GoFundMe for counseling, pedestrian safety initiatives, and a memorial scholarship at FSM Montessori. Two nights before the crash Ayden built a Lego model reading "Protect our City." The crash occurred on Friday 8/8 after 6 p.m. when a 19-year-old in an SUV exiting Parking Lot D collided with an e-bike rider who had the right of way. Ayden and a six-year-old girl were on the far sidewalk. Advocates said Ayden was the third pedestrian fatality in Burlingame.
