Stella Yeh was killed when two cars hit her while she was walking on the 805 Freeway after an Uber driver ordered her out of his car"I’m just a mom, and Uber is a big monster,” Yeh's mother, Josefina McGarry, said. “They have a lot of money to fight and do whatever they want."
“I died the day I saw her on that table. I died, and every day is horrific when I wake up. I cry," her mother said.According to the suit filed against Uber and two of their drivers, the University of San Diego sophomore had been out partying with friends when they called her an Uber to get back home.
“Call the police. If someone is intoxicated in your car, acting or doing whatever, call the police. They just leave people. It's inhumane,” Yeh's sister, McKenna McGarry, said.“Their whole premise of their company is they’re a safe ride. Apparently, they’re not a safe ride. She was left somewhere and ended up dead on the freeway, so, to me, they should be responsible for what happens," McKenna said.
The company also argued it shouldn't be held liable for Yeh's death because the drivers are independent contractors, not company employees.
