These Terrible Uber Stories Are As Horrifying As They Are Awkward

While like Uber and Lyft have made going to-and-fro places so much easier, rideshare horror stories also popped up as soon as they became the go-to means of transportation.

The following stories range from awkward to horrific and should be enough to make you more careful the next time you hop into a stranger’s car.

The Kalamazoo Killer

Michigan Uber Driver, Jason Brian Dalton, was charged with six counts of murder in February 2016. Apparently, he shot his targets at random, while picking up and dropping off riders in between each murder.

Authorities were later able to come up with a list of his victims. This included a woman, who was shot in the parking lot of an apartment complex. He followed this up by killing a father and son outside a car dealership. He finished things up by shooting five pool in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel restaurant, where he killed four and gravely wounded one 14-year-old girl.

What’s more remarkable about this is that he continued ferrying people around. He even had one passenger who took an Uber instead of walking because he was afraid that an active shooter was on the loose, not knowing that his driver was the killer himself.

Dalton was arrested without incident in downtown Kalamazoo. He had no apparent motive, nor connection to the victims. He simply just wanted to see the world burn.
