Shocking moment passenger hurls herself out of moving Uber to avoid paying £1.40 fare
THIS is the shocking moment a passenger threw herself out of a moving taxi 'to avoid paying the £1.40 fare'. Baffling CCTV footage shows how the back door was wide open as the Uber travelled down the road. 6 6 6 The customer could be seen trying to ease herself out of the car and hit the ground already running in a bid to avoid falling. But the driver was going too fast for her to land steadily on her feet. She tumbled onto the tarmac, rolled over, and skidded to a stop moments later. She then picked herself up and hobbled off as a passing biker stopped to ask if she was okay. The bizarre scenes unfolded on 3 June in Itapetininga, west of São Paulo, Brazil. The taxi driver told police that the ride had been requested with cash as the selected payment method. On the way to the destination in the city centre, the passenger gave a different name from the one the ride had been booked under. She added that she did not have the cash, prompting the driver to tell her they would have to go to the police to sort the matter out. En route to the police station, the passenger opened the door and jumped out of the moving car. The taxi driver - according to her testimony - stopped, got out, and tried to talk to the passenger. The woman allegedly told her she would pay the fare - £1.38 (10.40 BRL) - via a transfer later on and asked for her account details. A local media source told What's The Jam: 'At the end of the day, she paid the driver.' 6 6 6

Uber sues Florida law firm, medical clinics for fraud over car crashes
June 11 (Reuters) - Ride-hailing company Uber filed a lawsuit against a Miami law firm and a Miami medical center accusing them of orchestrating a medical and insurance scam that involved staged car collisions. Uber (UBER.N), opens new tab, in the lawsuit filed on Tuesday in federal court in Miami, accuses personal injury firm Law Group of South Florida and firm attorney Andy Loynaz of participating in a scheme to pay drivers to intentionally collide with other cars and then claim they were using the Uber app while driving. Auto mechanics and healthcare providers at River Medical Center in Miami and other clinics falsely said the crashes caused severe injuries and required medical treatments, according to the lawsuit. Those false statements formed the basis of bogus lawsuits against Uber and its insurer, according to the lawsuit. Loynaz, described on the law firm's website as a firm co-founder, declined to comment on Wednesday. A person who answered the phone at River Medical Center declined to comment and declined to make anyone else available. The lawsuit, which claims that four fraudulent lawsuits were filed in Florida court stemming from the scheme, didn't specify how much they have cost Uber. The company's lawsuit said Uber has spent several million dollars in defense costs and settlements. Adam Blinick, Uber's head of state and local public policy in the U.S. and Canada, in reply to a request for comment on the lawsuit, said in a statement that Uber will take action if it sees something inappropriate on the platform. The 97-page lawsuit details five allegedly staged crashes, all of which took place near Hialeah, Florida, in 2023 and 2024. After each crash, Loynaz submitted insurance claims for the people involved for the maximum amount allowed under the policy, $1 million, the lawsuit claims. After four crashes, Loynaz filed lawsuits that named Uber and its commercial auto liability insurance carrier. Some of the lawsuits are still pending in court, according to the lawsuit.
