Summary
Skip the banter: 00:10:40
It was a warm February day in Kalamazoo, Michigan, 2016. A simple Uber ride turns into a heart-pounding nightmare as passenger Matt Mellon finds himself trapped with an unhinged driver, Jason Dalton, speeding through residential streets at 80 mph, a German shepherd cowering in the backseat. What starts as erratic driving spirals into something far darker—a rampage that leaves six dead, two clinging to life, and a community in shock.
