The Washington State Patrol said a Lyft driver picked up the wrong passenger from a bar in Tacoma sometime before the crash happened around 3 a.m.

The passenger reportedly became "unruly" and took off his clothes before the Lyft driver pulled over on I-5 near SR18.

The passenger exited the vehicle and was struck by another vehicle traveling northbound before a third vehicle also struck him, according to the Washington State Patrol.

“The Washington State Patrol said a Lyft driver picked up the wrong passenger from a bar in Tacoma sometime before the crash happened around 3 a.m.”

Hmmm. In ambulance-chaser speak, this reads; the Lyft driver kidnapped a man from a bar and let him out on a busy interstate highway. The kidnapped man was slightly inebriated and subsequently was hit and killed by a car.

Boy Howdy! I think I can smell huge lawsuit even out here in the desert.

It gets old laboring through moronic posts by semiliterate people. Stop posting. You make FR look like residents of the ghetto. Or worse, the hills of Tennessee.

And don't respond to me. I'm not reading anymore of your sophomoric drivel. I don't have time to waste on fools.

You mean the time you devoted to your little diatribe above? That "time"? LOL. You're hilarious...and kinda sad. And you'll read my reply...you can't help it...like a moth to a flame.

Picking up people a little before 3 AM seems a sketchy thing to do.

My nephew was an Uber driver for a number of years and he preferred the late night "bars are closing" shift. He has so many stories including the night he picked up two members of the Boston Bruins hockey team. But he's also streetwise, has a great way with people and has a knack for handling obnoxious drunks.

Why did he prefer that shift? He cleaned up in tips. Sure, there were some that stiffed him but he would also get some very large ones.
