A passenger has recounted her nightmare Uber ride in Denver, US, when a driver refused to let her out of the taxi during a trip to the airport.
Nancy Leong, a law professor from Colorado, said the driver told her he'd take her to a hotel instead of her final destination. She says he then pulled off the highway and refused to let her out when she asked him to.
"Hey @Uber your driver was taking me to the airport. He said he was going to 'take me to a hotel' and got off the highway. We got to a stop light. I started yelling 'let me out of the f***ing car' and he wouldn't unlock the doors," she tweeted.
She started pounding on the car windows but the driver continued to refuse to let her out and allow unlocked the door when he saw some construction workers watching them from the roadside.
"Then he got out of the car and started coming toward me," she wrote. "Remember we are at a stop light at the bottom of a highway off ramp. There's nothing around. Thank god there were construction workers there."
