TAXI HORROR - Woman who jumped from cab during police chase recalls fearing for her life

#JamaicaGleaner
JULY 24, 2024: What was supposed to be a 15-minute drive to her workplace aboard an illegal taxi turned into a 30-minute horror story for an unsuspecting female security guard caught in a reckless high-speed chase involving the police in the Corporate Area Tuesday.
The 28-year-old woman, who The Gleaner will identify as Justine Brown, left home with the intention of getting to her work post in downtown Kingston. However, she and another female passenger would end up having to jump from the moving vehicle.
On Monday, a similar incident occurred in Stony Hill Square about 11:15am.
Passengers were held against their will while another robot taxi driver attempted to outdrive a group of police and transport authority inspectors.
He was, however, cut off by a truck and the authorities in tow swooped down, forcefully removing him from behind the steering wheel.
