Woman Jumps Out of Car in Kent After Man Poses as Her Uber Driver

Police say the woman jumped from the car after the driver missed her exit and the Uber trip was cancelled.

  • On Oct 10, a 25-year-old woman escaped a vehicle in Kent after realizing her driver was impersonating an Uber operator, according to Seattle Police.
  • After ordering a ride from a bar in Pioneer Square, the woman entered a white sedan she assumed was her Uber, but the driver failed to use the app, police reported.

  • Police are seeking information on the suspect, described as a Black male aged 30 to 50, but were unable to retrieve footage because local cameras were non-functional.
  • Investigators urged the public to share tips via the Seattle Police Violent Crimes Tip Line, reminding riders to always verify driver names and license plates before entering any vehicle.
