"They decided to not hold anyone accountable. So civil litigation unfortunately is the only path for achieving any measure of justice. The only path to enforce those responsible to take accountability."
"First of all, lines of sight with the city of Burlingame there was a clear situation that they knew people exciting this parking lot had a blocked line of sight. Outside the lawsuit the family wants to see restrictions on children driving e-bikes."
"The lawsuit claims the driver was on a prescription drug that is known to impair judgment especially when driving. The driver was not charged."
In August 2025, a 19-year-old driver's SUV collided with an e-bike on a sidewalk outside a restaurant in Burlingame, California, killing 4-year-old Ayden Fang. After the San Mateo County District Attorney declined to file criminal charges, Ayden's parents pursued civil litigation against the city, the driver, and the parents of the 11-year-old e-bike rider. The lawsuit alleges the city failed to address blocked sight lines at the parking lot exit and claims the driver was impaired by prescription medication. The family seeks accountability, restrictions on children operating e-bikes, and awareness about teenage driver safety. The city subsequently removed one parking spot in response to the incident.
