Veteran in coma after DoorDash driver allegedly punched him over speeding warning

Ryan Turner, with prior road rage convictions, faces aggravated assault charges after punching a 75-year-old veteran who confronted him about speeding, leaving the victim comatose.

  • On Dec. 28, Lloyd Poole, a 75-year-old veteran, was hospitalized in a coma after DoorDash driver Ryan Turner allegedly punched him, causing Poole to fall unconscious in Wixom, Michigan.
  • Poole walked out of his driveway to tell Turner to slow down, prompting the encounter; Turner went to Wixom Police, admitting he felt threatened and punched Poole, with court records showing prior assault and road-rage convictions.
  • Medical teams removed part of Poole's skull during emergency brain surgery after he sustained severe head trauma and a black eye from falling near Barberry Circle and Windingway Drive.
  • DoorDash said it permanently removed Turner, who was charged with one count of aggravated assault and posted a $35,000 bond on Jan. 1, at Oakland County Jail.
  • The family is asking courts to modify bond conditions to keep Turner away, as Poole's family is taking shifts at the hospital and worried about his uncertain recovery.
