I've been trying to find video evidence of the crash, and have been unable to do so. The closest I've found is a myriad of news reports showing the stopped car and police scene.
On reviewing this evidence however, there is one thing that sticks out: the damage to the car appears to be entirely on the passenger side. If the woman "darted out from the median," then she managed to clear at least half of the traffic lane before being struck. That makes it more likely that certain prompt evasive actions could have prevented the fatality, which does not look good on Uber's part.
I, for one, am glad that NTSB is looking at the crash.
