A couple of our employees knew this girl. Very sad. I was automatically suspicious. But WOW- how fast we pull a bill together here in S.C.
“A Democratic state lawmaker will file a bill Tuesday to make it easier for riders to identify Uber and Lyft vehicles, days after a University of South Carolina student was killed because she mistook the wrong car for her Uber.
The proposal would require drivers for popular ridesharing apps like Uber and Lyft to display illuminated stickers on their windshields. Currently, only reflective stickers are required under S.C. law.
“I’m just sick about this,” said state Rep. Seth Rose, the Columbia Democrat who will file the bill and lives a quarter-mile from the Five Points curb where 21-year-old Samantha Josephson was picked up early Friday morning.
Police have charged 24-year-old Nathaniel Rowland with kidnapping and killing Josephson after she climbed into his car. Authorities have said hunters found her body about 40 feet from a rural dirt road in Clarendon County.
