Fearing for her safety, Shazia made a split-second decision to escape. “Feeling unsafe, I opened the right-side door and ran for my life. It was an extremely traumatic experience, and I cannot emphasize enough how terrified I felt,” she shared. Adding to her distress, the SOS feature on the Ola app failed during the incident.
