A Colorado Uber driver took a restricted route that was meant for snowmobiles only and got stuck.
RideApart says the Uber driver ignored warnings and took a snowmobile-only path.
The group of 4 riders were taking an Uber to Bailey, Colorado, when their Uber driver insisted on taking snowmobile-only Georgia Pass, a Summit County Sheriff’s Office report stated.
It was reported that the driver’s GPS told him to take the route before he was stranded, despite the group telling him it was wrong; he was insistent on following the instructions until the bitter end.
It wasn’t just the riders that told the driver not to follow the path; there were other signs, literal signs.
The Uber driver passed three large signs that specified the route was closed to wheeled vehicles.
But the driver ploughed on until the vehicle slid off the road into a ditch while approaching Middle Fork.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Authorities had to tow the vehicle out.
