Ride-Hailing Driver Freed After Detention Over Deviated Trip With 13-Year-Old in Rosario

Prosecutors are reviewing GPS records and the minor’s testimony after police seized the driver’s phone and car to determine potential charges.

Overview

  • The Tuesday night trip diverted toward Funes via the Autopista Rosario–Córdoba, prompting the girl’s parents to call 911 after the driver did not respond to messages in the app.
  • The vehicle ultimately returned to Rosario and reached the destination, where police detained driver Daniel S. R., 42, and confirmed the passenger was unharmed.
  • By order of fiscal Andrea Vega, investigators seized the driver’s cellphone and Fiat Uno and opened a case for unlawful deprivation of liberty.
  • The Ministerio Público de la Acusación later confirmed the driver was identified and released pending an investigation that includes route analysis and the minor’s statement.
  • It is the second similar report in less than a month in Rosario, the company has not issued an official comment, and Mayor Pablo Javkin urged users to choose regulated services.
