Except for the part about hitting a human standing in the middle of a road.
You seem to be hung up on this point, but have you driven that stretch of road at night? I do it frequently, so I can see how this could happen.
It's very dark with a high speed limit, and the portion where she was hit was in a curve. By the time the driver saw her, it may be very hard to stop.

Civil liability on the part of Reggie's will eventually be an issue.
Only in the driver’s case as a question of comparative fault. Reggie’s is very unlikely to be a financially viable source of recovery.

It's not trolling dick face.
A human standing in the middle of the road doesn't give a driver permission to be excessively speeding therefore couldn't stop properly on any such highway deemed by that speed limit to be proper. Factors such as road conditions and speed of the car should be announced IMO in cases like this. Not sure if/when these details should come out. This road also had 2 lanes, how the frick do you not go around said human.

Best to just ignore him so we don’t derail the thread. He wants it to be about me and you. Don’t let him.

So what’s your hypothetical? We can go nowhere with the facts at hand

It's really easy.
You're traveling fairly fast.
On a dark road, you don't see a person or recognize a figure as a person until you're very close.
You have milliseconds to decide if it's safe or possible to veer off.
At that moment, do you cut the wheel, possibly rolling your vehicle and hurting or killing yourself, or do you slam on the brakes and hope for the best?
It's just odd for you to be so fricking stuck on something so stupid.

I've already looked into all this. Driver had a minimum of close to 1,000 ft of straight roadway.

Speculation. Wishcasting.
Police can easily access that through Uber.

I have no idea why people can’t say “yes if the driver was speeding or doing anything else outside the law he will have liability”
And then we can all move on. Just throw Chad a cookie

If there's something you know about this part, spill it. Nothing has been said about this person "excessively speeding" before hitting her.

I almost hit someone a couple years ago going 50 in a 55 on a straight road on a clear night with no distractions. Didn't see the person in the middle of the road until it was almost too late.
It's not beyond the realm of possibility that those things happen.

Driver was an Uber driver out at 3 a.m.
May have been looking at the next job on his phone. Not expecting anyone to be in the roadway. He stopped and rendered CPR (and I'm just assuming driver was male - don't know).
It may have been a borderline call to charge him or not.
For sure a civil case. Would Uber be liable for their driver's actions?

Dear Lord, please start your own thread about this. If you can't see how this could easily happen, I'm not sure what to tell you.

we can have 50 pages over arguing the shades of grey of drunkeness of her bac content based off a video of a drunk girl walking but we can't have 1 page honest conversation about the rate of speed of the driver to have hit the brakes and still hit a human in the road with enough force to kill her. Was an uber driver distracted while driving? Pretty important detail. They are blindly raging in defense if said driver who ran over a human at 2:50am.

Well, generally you never let know facts get in the way of speculation.
My guess is this.
The cops arrived to question the Uber driver. Either they smelled liquor on her or the EMTs told her they did.
The driver recounted a story of her running out in front of his car. “She came out of nowhere.” The physical facts matched what he said.
Everything looks obvious in retrospect, but something told the EBRSO this was more than a fatal accident. I’m guessing someone who saw her leave the bar with the bubbas tipped them.
They cleared the driver quickly. It might now look like that’s because they were after rapists, but they did not know that when they were initially investigating the driver.
Tl, dr. I think the Uber driver is clean on this.
