Man Threatens Uber Eats Driver, Flees, and Crashes Into Street Lights in San Diego

Miami Standard (San Diego, CA) – A man in a drive-through queue reportedly threatened a delivery driver before fleeing the scene, ultimately crashing into street lights, which resulted in his arrest on suspicion of DUI.

On Thursday morning, a customer at the McDonald’s in the Midway District reportedly grew upset when an Uber Eats driver arrived at a different service window, as reported by OnScene.TV.

He exited his truck to face the delivery driver, who cautioned him that failure to retreat would result in being pepper-sprayed. The individual began to approach the victim quickly, ignoring the caution given, and the victim responded by spraying him.

The individual made his way back to his vehicle and departed the dining establishment, heading west towards the intersection of Midway Drive, W. Point Loma Boulevard, and Sports Arena Boulevard. The truck collided with the traffic signals, causing them to topple over.

Authorities in San Diego conducted a DUI test on him and subsequently placed him under arrest following the findings.

The accident resulted in a power outage affecting the traffic lights at the key intersection, leading officials to anticipate potential traffic disruptions during the morning rush hour.
