I decided years ago that I wouldn’t use these services if I could at all avoid it. I only use ‘regular’ taxi companies, at least as long as they last...
Mother (and father) of the year.
I don’t understand the article - it says she had been out for an evening with her husband and was coming home - but where was the husband? Did he send her home alone?
Body of article contradicts the headline. Police indicate she was dropped off on a secondary street and made her way to the highway.
So where was her husband? They went out together it says. So where was he when she was struck & killed?
If she was out with her husband, why did she not go home with him instead of calling an uber?
Looked on the net for a cab nearest me. All foreign speaking. On map looked like was were out of a home or inside a jiffy lube type place. Called a relative.
There’s a lot more to this story. According to other sources, not only was the husband in the Uber, but so was another unnamed passenger. And all of them got out together. And they gave the driver a $3 tip, normal for the $15 ride. If all 3 got out together at 1 a.m., what happened to the husband and mystery passenger? What happened over the missing 3 hours?
This story makes no sense.
It appears the husband was in the car with her. She got hit, he didn’t.
The Uber dropped them both off several hours earlier. The driver should ‘t have done so on a road, though. Why didn’t they get someone else to pick them up?
What did the husband say happened?
The receipt shows a $3 tip to the Uber driver so I’m inclined to believe they weren’t just tossed out on the side of the interstate.
Husband let her get out or get thrown out and he continued to ride? Man of the year candidate.
It sounds like a manslaughter charge to me, unless the driver can show her demanding to get out.
The husband did it. 😉
Sounds like she was very drunk. Why didn’t her husband drive her home? Raise your hand if you are leaving your wife who just gave birth to the fortunes of an Uber driver.
Ditto what you said. You couldn’t get me in one of those hippy driven jalopies.
“Stumbled”?
Don’t sleep in the subway, darlin’, don’t walk in a Beltway lane
Weirder and weirder: she was struck within minutes after another man was struck and killed across the highway right in the same area.
All this happening at 4 in the morning...
