The establishment HATES Uber Cabs because it competes with the crappy, and corrupt cab systems. This might be used:
An Uber driver has been charged over the death of a six-year-old girl he ran over as she walked on a pedestrian crossing with her mother and brother on New Year’s Eve.
**DRIVER** was looking for a fare with the taxi-service app when he made a turning straight into **Departed**, six, her mother, and brother, four, on a crosswalk in San Francisco.
**MOTHER** suffered broken bones and her son was also hurt in the collision. Her daughter’s death has sparked a legal and regulatory tussle over Uber’s responsibility for the services it facilitates.
Sad, tho frankly I don’t see this as an issue with Uber in particular, as even non fare drivers can get distracted.
Still, what’s the big deal, it’s not like somebody SHOT her!

And it’s not like “traditional” cabbies have never fatally run over a child before, either.
