SMPD is looking to identify the driver in a fatal hit and run from Saturday night.

San Mateo, CA – The San Mateo Police Department is currently investigating a traffic collision that took the life of a 56-year male just before 9pm on Saturday, February 8, 2025. This incident occurred just west of the 1400 block of Fashion Island Blvd. approaching the bridge towards S. Norfolk St. It is believed the victim was struck by an unknown vehicle and died from his injuries at the scene.

At this time, SMPD is looking for any additional witnesses or video footage that may have captured the crash. If you reside, work in, or just visit the area, please review any camera footage you may have of the location between S. Norfolk St. to Chess Dr. (and/or any adjoining streets), concentrating on the area of 1400 Fashion Island Blvd. and S. Norfolk St. from Saturday, February 8, 2025, between the times of 8:45pm and 9pm. We are also looking for dash cam footage of any vehicles traveling east or westbound on Fashion Island Blvd. to or from S. Norfolk St. who may have captured other vehicles in the area prior to, leading up to, and/or after the crash.

We understand how incredibly difficult this can be for not only the victim’s family, but also for the driver of the vehicle. If you are the person responsible for this tragic accident, we encourage you to find the strength and courage to come forward vs. us having to find you. Leaving the scene of an accident is not an easy thing to carry and we understand that it is likely weighing on you. The stress of the unknown can be a heavy burden to bear, but we urge you to do the right thing and come forward.
