Oh fair point.

That is interesting info but still what was she doing for 2 hours after getting out of the UBER?

I agree that it seems like slander to publicly blame the Uber driver (as the husband and go fund me are doing) when he did not drop her off on the highway, and she got hit by a car a full 2 hours later. Clearly something else happened in the meantime. And the Uber driver shouldn’t have to put up with the things being said in the go fund me, or some of the articles quoting the family members of the woman.

If the Uber driver kicked a drunk woman out of his car at 1am, then yes, he bears some fault, even if it wasn’t the actual highway. Maybe not criminal. But it’s one of the reasons to be cautious about Ubers.

He was taking us to FedEx on outer loop and while in transit a huge accident happened and 495 was shut down and we were just sitting there. He had apparently pre-booked to pick someone up at Dulles and now with waiting in traffic to finish our trip he wouldn’t be able to make it so he started arguing with me that we had to get out. I had my 2 elementary age kids with me and of course my phone battery was dying (which he wouldn’t let me charge) but we refused to get out. Where were we going to go? It was absolutely awful. My kids were crying. I was yelling. We wouldn’t get out.

Uber drivers can be completely crazy.

If you were stuck in traffic, how would he get to Dulles?

I am PP. I had the exact same question but this guy was going nuts. He didn't care. I refused to get out and he wasn't going to drag me. There was an accident with a tanker oil truck that caught on fire and the insane heavy, pitch black smoke was blowing all over the place so the police shut down 495. We were all stuck. I don't know what else to tell you. We were going to a pro soccer game that Messi was going to play in at Fed Ex (was precovid) and had left 3 hours ahead of time. Joke was on us.

My theory was similar to this- she was out of it, and wanted to flag down a car to help her (or was even out of it enough to think she was flagging a cab). Doesn’t explain where her husband was. I mean maybe he was with her the entire time and she was vomiting/ super drunk and he was waiting for her to get better so they could get another ride, and then she ran towards the highway to “catch a cab” and he chased her as best he could. And he is really and truly blameless.

Even if this scenario were true, the husband wouldn’t be blameless since he’s now slandering the Uber driver for something that wasn’t his fault at all. If the problem was that the wife was too drunk then the responsibility for that is squarely with her and her husband.

Sounds like it is dangerous for anyone to be on the road after midnight!!

And in the same general area? It’s all so weird. You could walk a long way in two hours but she didn’t? And where was he? Why weren’t they together?

495 would be a dangerous place to walk of course but also totally doable as a cautious sober person with 1:00 am traffic.
