(#13) The Killer
In perhaps one of the most tragic and saddest rideshare horror stories to date, Uber driver Syed Muzaffar was arrested for vehicular manslaughter when he struck and killed a six-year-old girl on New Year's Eve. The event happened in San Francisco, and Uber is now facing a wrongful death suit, as it never researched the reckless driving charges the driver had incurred several years before.

(#1) The Passenger Who Ended His Pregnant Driver's Life
On January 26, 2019, just outside of Tempe, AZ, 39-year-old Kristina Howato was driving for Lyft. Late in the evening, one of her passengers, 20-year-old Fabian Durazo, stabbed her and her unborn child numerous times. Both the mother and child lost their lives.
Howato exited her car during the attack, and then Durazo took the SUV she was driving. The driver was rushed to the hospital, but it was too late.
In an official statement, Lyft said, "We were shocked and deeply saddened to learn of this tragedy, and our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims... the passenger's account has been permanently deactivated, and we are actively assisting law enforcement in their investigation."
Authorities found Durazo 20 miles away from the California border.

(#6) The Snapper
Olivia Nuzzi of The Daily Beast once had an Uber driver who, upon entering his vehicle, showed her a picture he had snapped of her earlier in the day while walking on the street. While this Uber horror story is enough to stop anyone from using the service again, Nuzzi later encountered another driver who admitted to seeing her Facebook profile picture before and wanted to know whether or not she was single.

(#11) The Sidecar Predator
After partying with her friends, one woman took a sidecar home. But once they were a couple of blocks away from her destination, the driver told her that she had the "sexiest voice" he had ever heard and suggested instead of taking her home, they go somewhere to talk. She demanded he let her out. Fortunately, he did, and her boyfriend came to pick her up.

In September of 2013, Bridgett Todd was choked by her Uber driver. The incident was an apparent racist attack on the woman, though Uber's CEO was outraged that they could be to blame for it.
