Seattle Uber passenger jumps out of moving car after driver harassment
SEATTLE -- A Seattle woman said she chose to jump out of her moving Uber ride after her driver continually harassed her. The driver is now suspended from the Uber app pending an investigation.
Sid Grogan reported the incident to Seattle Police's East Precinct and Uber. Her story went viral after she shared it on Facebook to warn other women. Since then, she said two women contacted her who had similar experiences with the same driver.
On Sunday, Grogan said she got into an Uber in Capitol Hill right before midnight. What he said during the ride raised red flags.
"He keeps saying, 'So where are we going to go, where are we going to go to talk, where should I take us?'" Grogan said. "He kept repeating that and I kept answering the same thing. I said, 'I'm going home, I'd like you to take me home.'"
That's when she said he pulled over and put his hazard lights on. She said he turned around, looked at her and again asked where he could take the two of them. When she repeated that she just wanted to go home, she said he slowly turned around, locked the car and started driving.
"All I can think about is that he's just going to take me somewhere he wants to take me and I wasn't going to stick around to find out," she said.
