A 31-year-old DoorDash driver was found unresponsive inside her vehicle late Thursday night in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Her family had reported her missing just hours before authorities made the discovery.
The driver had reportedly left her residence around 11:30 a.m. that morning to begin her delivery route. When she did not return home as expected, her family grew increasingly concerned and reached out to law enforcement for help.
Authorities initiated an extensive search in response to the family’s report. Police spent several hours canvassing the area, checking known routes and locations where delivery drivers typically operate.
Later that evening, officers located the driver’s white Honda sedan parked outside a business along Southwest Port St. Lucie Boulevard. The vehicle was spotted around 11:30 p.m., nearly 12 hours after she had last been seen by her family.
When police approached the car, they found the woman unresponsive in the front passenger seat. Paramedics were called to the scene, but she was pronounced deceased shortly after their arrival.
Investigators reviewed surveillance footage from surrounding businesses as part of their inquiry. According to officials, no signs of foul play were observed in the video footage collected.
Law enforcement confirmed that an investigation is ongoing to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident. Officials stated that they are awaiting autopsy results and additional evidence to provide more clarity on what may have happened.
Residents in Port St. Lucie expressed shock and sadness over the news, highlighting concerns for delivery drivers who spend long hours on the road. Authorities have not released further details about the case but assured the public that they are thoroughly examining all aspects of the incident.
