He forced his passengers to exit on a highway where one was immediately struck and killed by a passing car. The Lyft driver then fled the scene. Police and Lyft are saying the driver has yet to be identified. I don’t understand this - doesn’t the software track all the rides? How else would they collect and distribute payment? |
| How many Lyft drivers are there in dewey? I assume the friends were very drunk which is why they were kicked out. Maybe they just jumped in a car, and didn’t actually call him? I think they will find him. Everywhere has cameras. |
You assume incorrectly. The Lyft driver had a kid with her who wasn’t properly restrained and the passengers were all dads who were giving her crap about it. |

Lyft has identified the driver but they are MIA
Not surprised Lyft and that driver are at fault. Horrible. |
No, they were drunk off their asses. These were forty-year-old men out for a birthday party at a bar. Please. They did try and do the right thing and get a Lyft. No one really knows what happened yet. We have one side. This is a horrible tragedy that did not have to happen but it did. Speculating does no one any good. |
Was this published somewhere or do you have insider information? |
His sister posted it on Facebook. |

I'm sure they can easily identify the Lyft driver.
But I'm not quick to pass judgment. If the passengers were being horrible, the driver has a right to kick them out of his vehicle. Drunk is not an excuse to be an obnoxious ass. |
Are you for real? The driver should’ve waited until they were in a safe place to stop and exit the vehicle - it was a busy highway!! This endangered everyone, ended a life and probably traumatized the driver of the car that hit the victim. The driver needs to be held accountable. |
Wish everyone stopped calling that a highway. It’s a road parallel to the beach. Not an interstate. |
DE-1 is basically a highway. Two lanes each way, divided with a median, speed limit 50mph. |
Coastal Highway is indeed a highway. Where do you thikn the name comes from? |
Exactly. No one called it an interstate. The PP is ignorant. |
This. Totally support the Lyft driver here. 100%. |

They've identified the driver, who is cooperating:
