That passenger hopped out of the vehicle and then attempted to run across the feeder road. That male passenger was then hit by a passing vehicle. That passing driver left the scene but returned to the scene about an hour later. Police said they did appear impaired. The victim was pronounced dead at scene. Police are still trying to understand why they wanted out of the UBER. The fatality remains under investigation. No word on charges for either driver and the victim’s name has not been released at the time.
