A Virginia man has been refunded the $600 he was charged for an Uber ride after he became trapped in a miles-long traffic jam in Virginia that had some drivers stuck on the interstate for more than a day.
Andrew Peters, of Richmond, Va., was traveling from Dulles International Airport on Monday after a recent trip to San Francisco. He told WTOP-FM that he had no clue about what was happening in Virginia and how serious the winter weather was.
Peters' Uber driver also did not realize how terrible the traffic on I-95 was, eventually going on the highway and getting stuck in traffic, according to WTOP. Virginia State Police said several tractor-trailers jackknifed on the slippery interstate, making the road impassable — and causing a massive backup of drivers.

These are situations that neither the driver nor the rider has control over

Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth Sounds Like Uber Made it Right with the Passenger, Hopefully with the Driver Too.
