The Uber had a forward-facing video recorder, which showed the woman was walking a bike at about 10 p.m. and moved into traffic from a dark center median. “It’s very clear it would have been difficult to avoid this collision in any kind of mode,” Sylvia Moir, the police chief in Tempe, Arizona, told the San Francisco Chronicle.

“The driver said it was like a flash, the person walked out in front of them,” Moir said, referring to the backup driver who was behind the wheel but not operating the vehicle. “His first alert to the collision was the sound of the collision.”

In a shot across the bow at the XFL, an Ebersol cooks up a rival football league


Two months after Vince McMahon announced plans to reboot the long-shuttered XFL, the eldest son of McMahon’s erstwhile business partner is looking to steal some of the wrestling mogul’s thunder with a league of his own.
