A 4-year-old boy was killed and a 6-year-old girl was injured Friday evening on Donnelly Avenue in Burlingame after being struck on the sidewalk in front of a business by a 19-year-old woman driving a sedan, according to police.
At approximately 6:25 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8, police were called to the scene on reports of a major injury collision involving the sedan and pedestrians in front of a restaurant on the 1200 block of Donnelly Avenue, officers said.
Police confirmed two juveniles were struck by the vehicle and the girl was taken to Stanford Hospital for treatment. The 4-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.
The driver was from San Mateo and remained at the scene. The investigation is by the Burlingame Police Department along with assistance from the North County Major Accident Investigation Team. Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to contact the Burlingame Police Department.
I really wish the city of Burlingame would show some (real) leadership on this, starting with acknowledging that it happened, followed quickly by what they plan to do about it. Every collision has multiple factors and the city of Burlingame should be taking full accountability for figuring out what happened and addressing the factors that they can control. 3 fatalities in a year for a city this size is a lot.

Third dead pedestrian in Burlingame in less than a year. Time for a state of emergency?

I agree. At the very least, that street should remove the parallel parking spots or maybe change it to a one way street.
