This is what happens when you fire the Union drivers...

A woman killed Friday on Interstate Highway 280 in San Francisco appears to have been a passenger in an airport commuter van, not a homeless woman struck by the van while attempting to cross the highway, CHP officials said.

CHP Officer Shawn Chase said the driver of the SFO Airporter van admitted this afternoon that the woman was ejected from the side of his vehicle after he swerved to avoid a car merging into his lane.

In previous statements to the CHP, the driver claimed he hit a homeless woman in the 11 a.m. crash.

Chase said interviews with the surviving passengers, who suffered minor injuries including cuts from flying glass, back the revised story.

SFO Airporter was bought by SuperShuttle shortly before they cut all the union drivers. At the time, SFO Airporter stopped operating vans to concentrate on busses, leaving the van business for SS.

A real SS driver would have made sure that the passengers were wearing seatbelts. When the accident occured, would have called it in and not tried to make up some stupid story! The safety of your passengers is the primary concern of every driver!

OK, it was one of their busses. Those things scared me when I was driving.

Simpson, eh?
