Overview
- Ryan Daniel Turner, 40, was arraigned on one count of aggravated assault and given a $35,000 cash/surety bond, according to Wixom police.
- Investigators say Turner told officers he was confronted about speeding, punched 75-year-old Lloyd Poole, and drove away after Poole fell and struck his head.
- Family members say Poole underwent emergency brain surgery and is responding less than the day before as he remains hospitalized in serious condition.
- DoorDash said it permanently removed the driver from its platform and is cooperating with law enforcement, calling the incident appalling and unacceptable.
- Poole’s daughter says the encounter was captured on video, and local reporting notes Turner has a prior criminal record, including a previous road incident in Novi.
