The pedestrian victim in a fatal traffic collision in Burlingame on March 11 has been identified as Arlene O’Campo, 61, of Daly City, the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office said.
O’Campo appeared to have been crossing in the crosswalk intersection of El Camino Real and Trousdale Drive when she was struck by a red SUV, Burlingame Police Department traffic director Jason Orloff said.
O’Campo appeared to have the right-of-way and it seems that the driver — who has not yet been named but was arrested later that Tuesday on felony hit-and-run and vehicular manslaughter charges — ran a red light on El Camino Real, Orloff said.
The case against the driver has been given to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office, Orloff said.
While the intersection at Trousdale Drive and El Camino Real is busy, it isn’t considered a problem intersection for the city, he said. Orloff encouraged both pedestrians and drivers to remain aware of their surroundings at all times.
“A reminder to slow down and pay attention and not be distracted by our devices that are all too prevalent in our lives … it’s vitally important, when people are driving, you drive safe, slow down and adhere to the law,” he said. “As far as pedestrians, when pedestrians are walking, not to take for granted that if you’re crossing in a crosswalk or have the right of way — still be aware.”
It’s the first pedestrian death in Burlingame in 2025. In September 2024, Yolanda Villar was struck and killed by a vehicle whose driver was making a left turn from North Delaware Street onto Peninsula Avenue, which is on the border with San Mateo.

In other news, the Burlingame Traffic Committee last night decided not to install safety infrastructure on Trousdale, adjacent to the fatality location. Committee members seemed more concerned with the impact on their commutes to work than the safety of the kids who bike and walk to school at Franklin and BIS.
That area increases the number of lanes and encourages people to speed up. It's a treacherous intersection for pedestrians and needs bright flashing lights in the pavement warning motorists.
This reporting makes it sound like the pedestrian and driver are equally responsible for the outcome, down to the headlines like 'A fatal hit-and-run collision took the life of a woman in Burlingame Tuesday morning.' What happened was that a man killed a woman with his car. The pedestrian was crossing the street, following all the rules, it sounds like. The system failed her, and the answers lie in safer street design and actual negative consequences for the driver, not in advising pedestrians to be more careful before they cross.
Warning motorists of what?
It's an intersection where any pedestrian has the right-of-way. Any driver must follow the law, slow down, pay attention, put down that phone, turn off the music, no warning needed.
