On September 12, 2026, a Lyft driver accused of abducting two women during a ride from Maryland to Virginia turned himself in to Prince William County police. The surrender occurred after authorities were notified of the alleged kidnapping.
According to police, the driver picked up the two women in Maryland and then transported them across the state line into Virginia. At some point during the trip, the women were taken against their will, prompting a missing‑person report that led to a police investigation.
When police began looking into the case, the driver voluntarily presented himself to law‑enforcement officers in Prince William County. He is now in custody while investigators continue to gather evidence and determine the full circumstances of the incident.
Prince William County police have not released additional details about the driver’s identity or the condition of the women. The investigation is being treated as a possible kidnapping, and officials say they are reviewing all available information to understand how the alleged abduction unfolded.
The case highlights the cooperation required between Maryland and Virginia authorities when a crime spans state lines. Police indicated that they will examine ride‑share records and coordinate with Lyft to obtain any relevant trip data that could aid the inquiry.
No further information about the victims has been made public, and the investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to locate the women and assess any potential charges against the driver.
