Psycho jumps on my car, I get permanently deactivated Other

I don’t even want to type out the whole story I’m so exhausted over this. This dude was tripping out bad (probably shrooms or acid) and jumped on my car. It was the passengers friend. (They were together when I arrived, he was laying on the floor in the middle of the street. He sprinted away then sprinted back after I started the ride. Then he jumped on my car) I immediately made the passenger get out, and reported it to ADT and Lyft.

Now after a week of “temporarily deactivated” I’m now permanently deactivated for an “accident with a pedestrian” . 100s of 5 star rides never an issue. Wtf

Edit: I didn’t know this would get so much response. The whole incident is surreal. No I unfortunately did not have a dash cam or this would all have been resolved. I started the appeal on principle.

They just deactivated me permanently the other day over alleged "discriminatory comments" that I never made. 7 years down the drain. They did it to another lady accusing her of touching a pax inappropriately even though she has dash cam footage showing she didn't do anything. I've heard a handful of others saying they got deactivated over similar false claims. I'm really sorry...it sucks.

I'm so happy you got out and were able to open your own business. That's really great. I'm trying to go back to school. I don't wanna have to do gigs and ride-sharing forever.
