"Sometime after being picked up by the driver, the victim believed that she passed out in the backseat of the rideshare vehicle.

"What is being described is terrifying and the driver's access to Lyft has been permanently removed," the representative said in an email."We responded immediately and have been in close contact with the rider since the incident.
