Donald Kalanick was being treated at an area hospital for what were described as moderate injuries. The sheriff’s office, however, posted a statement from Uber that read: “Last night, Travis and his family suffered an unspeakable tragedy.”“His mother passed away in a devastating boating accident near Fresno and his father is in serious condition. Our thoughts and prayers are with Travis and his family in this heartbreaking time,” the statement said. Uber has been rocked by a number of setbacks lately, including accusations of sexual harassment from a former female employee and a video showing its CEO harshly berating an Uber driver. He also posted a photo with his parents on Twitter when they went to the Kentucky Derby together on 6 May.Reuters
