The crash happened early Saturday morning outside state capital, Calif., in a very serious cloudburst. Driving on interstate eighty, Lyft driver Shanti Adhikari, 31, swerved to avoid a automobile within the middle lanes that had stalled when being rear-ended by another vehicle that drove away. The Lyft automobile carrying Holland and a friend veered onto the correct shoulder, hit a tree, so whipped around to hit another tree, the California road Patrol confirmed with CNET.

Since coming on the scene over the past few years, ride sharing corporations — that let regular people become impromptu taxi drivers mistreatment their personal cars — have grappled with the way to offer insurance that adequately covers passengers. The accident highlights a very important issue endeavor all ride-sharing users: who can pay for medical and different prices if they are hurt whereas mistreatment the service?
