A New York City yellow cab driver was taking what he was made to believe was a drunk passenger to an address in Queens on Wednesday, only to discover that the woman in the backseat was dead.
The harrowing incident began unfolding at around 5am, when an unidentified person summoned the taxi and instructed the driver to take the purportedly drunk woman to an address on Avery Avenue in the Flushing neighborhood.
When the cab reached its destination, a friend of the passenger approached the vehicle to pick her up and found her to be unresponsive, reported the New York Post, citing an unnamed police source.
