Remember this awful collision at Embarcadero and Bryant last month involving that BMW that had to be pried open with the jaws of life? As CNet is reporting, the other vehicle, the Jeep SUV that collided with the BMW was being driven by a Luxe valet driver, i.e. that app you can pay to get an on-demand driver to park your car for you. A 56-year-old woman from Napa who was the passenger in the BMW died in the collision.

This is the first fatality to involve a driver working for Luxe, and a company spokesman says that they're cooperating with the investigation and "Because it is an open investigation, we are not able to comment further."

We don't yet know which driver may have been at fault in the collision, only that the BMW was attempting to make a left turn when the SUV being driven by the Luxe driver in the northbound lanes struck the BMW. The Luxe driver involved has been identified as Armani Diles of San Francisco, and Luxe confirmed that he worked for them  though, like most on-demand apps, he is an independent contractor and not an employee, creating a potential insurance issues that have been identified earlier involving ride-share drivers.

Killed in the crash was Janet Gelow, who was headed to the Giants game that afternoon, on April 27, with her husband Mark Gelow behind the wheel. Mark, 59, was badly injured but survived the crash.
