An Uber driver whose act of kindness to a teenage passenger during last week’s snowstorm in Virginia paid off in a big way for him, as he was offered a new job.  

DaVante Williams was one of the many drivers who got stuck on Interstate 95 in Virginia for hours as a snowstorm and multiple accidents caused gridlock for 50 miles.  

Williams told BNC that he picked up the teenage passenger at 2 a.m. on Jan. 4 in Washington, D.C. and was attempting to make the two-and-a-half-hour drive to Williamsburg, Virginia.  

Around 20 miles into the trip, Williams noticed the traffic ahead. He said after waiting five hours in traffic, and a passenger who wasn’t handling being stuck well, he managed to find a way to head back into D.C.

He spoke to the teenage girl’s parents and told them the trains weren’t running and asked if they could put her into a hotel for the night. They expressed to him that they did not have any money to put her into a hotel because they used all of it for the Uber ride.  

“I basically just said, ‘Listen, don’t worry about the money, I’ll pay for it,’” Williams told BNC. “It was moreso having to talk to them in a way that like ‘Hey, I’m not crazy. I just really want to get your daughter safe and comfortable. She’s overwhelmed, exhausted. I could just tell that she just needed rest.’”  

William said since his story went public, he received numerous job offers, including as a lead driver at the upscale ridesharing company Alto.  

He reportedly took the job with Alto. “We are thrilled,” an Alto spokeswoman told CNN. “DaVante is exactly the type of customer and safety-focused leader we are looking to help lead our DC presence.” 

Willians told BNC he works full time as a property manager and a realtor. As for Uber, the company has reimbursed Williams for the hotel cost.  

He added that he has been in contact with the teen passenger and her parents.  

“I would do it again if I had to,” Williams said.
