Aaron Swetland, according to local media, was the passenger. Swetland asks the driver to slow down the speeding car in the video. “I’m saying I’m going to go,” the driver yells before realizing she’s being recorded and seizing Swetland’s phone. Swetland offers to get out of the car if he wants to, and she unlocks the trunk, which contains his suitcase, while the driver screams at him. The driver then threw Swetland’s bag across the road, yelling insults at him before abandoning him on the side of the road. Before sending him out, the driver can be heard shouting, “F**k you.”
According to local media sources, the cab driver’s account has been suspended while the situation is investigated, and the cab driver has reached out to the victim to apologize for the event.
The video, which has received over 253 thousand views and over two thousand likes, has elicited a significant response from netizens. A user asked the cab company why the driver was not fired in a tweet. “@Lyft, Suspended? Why not fired? She’s a liability & should be arrested for reckless endangerment. The rider was put out on the interstate in Nashville and could have been struck.”
