The first fatal automobile crash in Lyft’s two-and-a-half year history occurred this weekend and is set to test the company’s $1 million insurance policy, reports SFGate.

Shane Holland was a passenger in a Lyft vehicle when its driver, traveling at 60 mph on Interstate 80 near Sacramento, Calif. during heavy rainfall, swerved to avoid a stalled car in the middle lanes and lost control of his 2014 Toyota Camry.
