According to WTVR/CNN, it all went down around 8 p.m. on Monday when Tameka Swann and John Murray hailed an Uber in Richmond. They said moments into the ride, someone driving an SUV rear-ended their Uber. Tameka explained, “Our Uber driver attempted to pull over so they could exchange information, but the car didn’t stop behind us,” she said. “They went around us and sped off, and that’s when our Uber sped off behind him.”
John pulled out his phone to live-stream the scary high-speed chase on Facebook while pleading for the Uber driver to slow down, stop and let them out. Instead of doing that, the driver was just too determined to catch the other vehicle that hit his car and kept speeding down a couple of blocks. The Uber driver then dialed 911 and handed his cell phone to the passengers so they could tell the dispatcher what was going on.
“He kept going. That was the scariest moment of my life,” she said. “I have never been that scared in my life. It was a nightmare.”
Eventually the driver pulled over and let the couple out of the vehicle. The man later arrested and charged with kidnapping in Virginia. In a statement to CNN, Uber said,
“This driver’s behavior is deeply concerning and his access to the app has been removed. We have been in contact with the rider and stand ready to support law enforcement on their investigation.”
