San Francisco Superior Court jury today found a former Uber driver guilty of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter for fatally striking a 6-year-old girl on New Year’s Eve in 2013. Prosecutors said that 61-year-old Syed Abid Muzaffar, of Union City, struck Sophia Liu with his car around 8 p.m. on Dec. 31, 2013, at Polk and Ellis streets.
Muzaffar, driving a Honda Pilot while working for the ride-hailing service Uber, struck Sophia as she walked with her mother and 3-year-old brother, who was in a stroller, in the crosswalk.
