Colorado has slapped Uber with a nearly $9 million fine for letting dozens of drivers with serious criminal or motor vehicle offenses work for the ride-hailing firm, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.

The commission reportedly found that 60 Uber employees in Colorado had previous felony convictions, including a habitual offender, a former prison escape and drunken driving violations. Read more at The Hill.
