Wow this dude has had a fall from grace. Police have reviewed his dashcam and well, he had a bit of a night of it.

Feeling a bit bad for the Uber driver. The doctor killed his passenger, but hospitalised the driver with injuries he'll carry for life and put him out of work/income for who knows how long. The article doesn't even mention him.

I don't think this is as funny as you seem to think it is. The woman you are laughing at was a real person with an actual life and it was abruptly destroyed by this guy who was a ticking time bomb that night. He exploded onto this car, seriously impacting the lives of many people.

All her family and friends are dealing with the loss of their loved one. And like I said: There's an Uber Driver (not) in this story recovering from serious injuries who has lost his livelihood in the process as well. He may eventually get some sort of compensation, but is going to be poverty-stricken in the short-to-medium term. People who Drive Uber don't tend to be affluent in the first place. Uber as a company is famously scummy to it's ~~employees~~ partners and are unlikely to be offering anything like worker's compensation.

While I'm in total agreement that the above commenter can go fuck themselves. The TAC will step in for the uber driver to help with some of the burden of this incident.

Agreed, they will cover all medical stuff, as well as physio and whatever he needs to recover physically.

They won't cover his car or wages.

They covered 80% of my wages when I was hit by a car.
