Uber says Dawson no longer a driver
In a statement to USA TODAY, an Uber spokesperson said Dawson is no longer a driver for the rideshare service.
“The reported details of what the victim went through are disturbing," according to the statement. "We removed the driver’s access to the platform and stand ready to support law enforcement however we can with their investigation.”
In 2021, Uber and Lyft partnered on a program in which the two services share information about drivers who have been deactivated from each company's platform for serious crimes and other safety incidents, according to Uber. The company also employs a team of former law enforcement professionals who work with local police agencies on investigations, the company said.
