Their Stories
Emily was not the only one.
Emily's death was not an isolated tragedy. Across North America, other riders have been killed in incidents involving ride-hailing trips. We remember them here — and we keep asking the same questions their families are asking.
Jessica Puckett
Jessica, 22, was struck and killed on Interstate 25 near Thornton, Colorado, on New Year's Day 2023 after she was left on the highway by her ride-hailing driver.
Neyda Doreen Sandoval
Neyda was 23. Her parents brought a wrongful-death suit against Uber in California Superior Court.
Jenna Hepperle
Jenna, 20, of Maple Ridge, B.C., and her friend Mursal Arifi were passengers in an Uber stopped on Highway 1 in Burnaby when an SUV struck the vehicle in the early morning of February 18, 2024.
Mursal Arifi
Mursal, 25, was Jenna Hepperle's friend and was in the same Burnaby crash. She died of her injuries in hospital on February 24, 2024.
