Woman orders rideshare to escape abusive situation, then her husband does something that nearly kills all of them

That driver is a hero.

A rideshare driver in Vancouver, Washington recently helped save a woman’s life in a terrifying incident. The woman was trying to escape from a domestic violence situation when her husband chased them down and crashed into their car multiple times. Police say this was not just road rage but a dangerous domestic abuse case.

According to WBAL TV, the woman had called for a rideshare from her workplace last month. As soon as the driver picked her up, another car started following them. Police believe the woman’s husband was driving that car. He began chasing them aggressively and started ramming into the rideshare vehicle over and over again.

The crashes caused serious damage to the car. The back of the vehicle was completely crushed, and the rear window was smashed. The repeated hits almost pushed the car over a steep 20-foot drop. The situation was extremely dangerous and could have killed both people inside.

The terrifying chase was caught on video

Video footage from inside the car showed how scary the moment was. Both the driver and the woman were screaming as the attacks continued. The husband kept ramming into them without stopping, creating a truly frightening experience.

Even though the situation was incredibly dangerous, the rideshare driver stayed calm. They managed to keep control of the damaged car and drove away from the husband. The driver’s quick thinking and skill under pressure helped save both their lives. This case highlights how everyday people can become heroes, much like when a Last Chance U star took legal action against injustice.

The driver’s main goal was to get the woman to safety. They successfully drove to a police station, which helped the woman escape from the abusive situation. She made it out without any injuries. Many victims face difficult choices when seeking shelter from domestic violence situations.

However, the rideshare driver was not as lucky. They got hurt during the repeated crashes and had to go to a hospital for treatment. This incident shows the unexpected dangers that rideshare drivers can face when helping people in crisis situations.

Police are still looking for the husband who carried out this violent attack. Detectives are working hard to find him quickly to prevent him from hurting anyone else. The investigation is ongoing.
