“I’ve never had a problem with Uber like this,” she said.

Yuill said the ride from her west-end apartment to her friend’s birthday party started out normal as she and the driver engaged in the usual smalltalk. It was as they drove down Woodroffe Avenue to an intersection near Carling Avenue that the situation changed drastically from a car ride to a potential gunfight.

“The guy behind us started honking,” Yuill said.

She said the Uber driver seemed unsure at first of what was happening, but appeared to recognize the driver in the honking vehicle. That’s when he retaliated.

“As we started going, (the Uber driver) slammed on the brakes to aggravate him,” she said. “That’s how it started, there was definitely some beef, they definitely knew each other — this didn’t, like, come out of nowhere.”
