Husband chases wife’s Lyft ride — dramatic escape attempt caught on video

A LYFT driver in the US is being hailed as a hero after dramatic dashcam footage showed her helping a woman escape an alleged domestic violence attack in Vancouver, Washington.

According to police, the woman was heading home from work around 5 am on 15 November when her husband tracked them down and rammed his vehicle into the rideshare car at least four times. The repeated collisions shattered the rear windshield and nearly sent the car plunging a 20-foot embankment, WBAL TV reported.

In the video, both women can be heard screaming as the suspect continued to pursue them. Despite the terrifying situation, the driver managed to take control and sped towards a nearby police station for safety.

The driver was injured and later taken to a hospital for treatment. Police did not disclose whether the passenger suffered any physical injuries.
